It would be so much more convenient for the both of us, and then he could go outside, anywhere, whenever he likes.

Granted, dogs can now walk themselves... on two feet. Now bipedal, they quickly adapt and overthrow humanity. They decide to keep humans as pets. Your dog now takes you out for walks and grumbles about how much easier it would be if you could just walk yourself...

Not the worst outcome in the world! Definitely would be a shocker, but I feel like my dog loves me back and would take good care of me as a pet.

Just be thankful you live in a country where we keep dogs as pets and don't eat them!

I don't know where you live, but we shouldn't get too high and mighty. Pigs are of similar intelligence, and the consumption of pork is more widespread than that of dogs.

(Bacon and ham are so tasty though...)
