This is Gus. He was caught sitting at the kitchen table while home alone. His motives remain unknown. 14/10 (TT: milolovesromeo)

My dachshund used to walk on the table when we were gone. How did we find out? He ate a stick of butter. That didn’t end well, but he survived. We stopped keeping butter on the table after that!

One explanation (there are many!) is that he is testing the hypothesis that the reason you *know stuff* and are *top dog* is because you sit at a table every day. Gus doesn't necessarily think he *will* become human, but he thinks it *might* work. He may be happier now, but he doesn't know that.

I was going to say. If we are late to eat my dog takes his place by his empty bowl because he eats with us. If we are late going to bed, he will sit at the base of the stairs, tapping his foot.
