I was reading an article in a magazine at my dentist office. It was a social experiment on classifying people into compatible groups. Basically, they surveyed 100 people on various interests, political views, religion, occupation, economic status, etc...and then tossed them into a social gathering together to see if they migrated into the expected groups based on their similarities. The result was completely random...nothing predictable. There was a follow up interview with each person where they gave their opinions on those they interacted with. The researcher declared that people are too complex, too judgemental, and too idealistic in their expectations of others to successfully place them into groups that got along with each other. A previous study had been done using different breeds of dogs to note certain characteristics and behaviors which yielded much more solid results. The author of the article suggested that if people could view each other they way dogs do, we would be a much more organized society.
Anyway, just for fun I thought it would be interesting to see what people would say about themselves if asked to characterize themselves as a dog...
I am a pomeranian. Cute, small, soft, fluffy hair. I love to lay in your lap and be petted. But I'm also happy to curl up in my own little spot for a while and not be bothered. Generally friendly and welcoming to new guests, but might bark at a stranger knocking on the door just as a warning. ☺
