20. If you had the ability to talk to one species of animal, which animal would you choose to communicate with? Why?

If I could talk to any animal it would be a dog. I believe dogs view the world in a whole different way, through a whole new perspective. I believe dogs know the truth about humans more than what humans know themselves. If dogs are really able to detect what the human’s feel, imagine how much they could tell us. How much they could help us understand ourselves and they could tell us who we are truly. Dogs observe everything with a lot of detail and they know everything. I am sure that dogs hear everything … they probably know your problems, your most cherished memories, and everything about you. Dogs are known to be man’s best friend; therefore I believe a dog would never let you frown. They would be able to give you advice that is based on their experiences and the knowledge they have that we don’t even know they could have. Also not to forget that a dog can and would be anything you would want it to be. If you need a dog to be there he would, if you need him to be brave he will, if you need protection he’ll offer it to you, if you need a friend he will be that friend, if you need a guide he will guide you, if you need some fun and cheering up he will offer it to you, a dog is willing to do so much for his owner, his friend.
