The men who live as dogs: 'We're just the same as any person on the high street'
The Guardian ^ | May 25, 2016 | Nell Frizzell

It’s easy to laugh at a grown man in a rubber dog suit chewing on a squeaky toy. Maybe too easy, in fact, because to laugh is to dismiss it, denigrate it – ignore the fact that many of us have found comfort and joy in pretending to be animals at some point in our lives.

Secret Life of the Human Pups is a sympathetic look at the world of pup play, a movement that grew out of the BDSM community and has exploded in the last 15 years as the internet made it easier to reach out to likeminded people. While the pup community is a broad church, human pups tend to be male, gay, have an interest in dressing in leather, wear dog-like hoods, enjoy tactile interactions like stomach rubbing or ear tickling, play with toys, eat out of bowls and are often in a relationship with their human “handlers”.

Hey, maybe Hillary’s ARF-ARF-ARF was really a secret shout out code to Huma that that night’s role playing was gonna be a muzzie/pooch thing! (Okay, I’m putting the jug down now....)

See Monty Python’s “The Mouse Problem”.

“What is it that makes a man want to be a mouse?”

“Well, I noticed that some of the lads started handing cheese round, and just out of curiosity I tried a bit, and that was that. Then some of them started dressing up as mice a bit, and when they got the mouse costumes on, they...started... sqeaking.”

So they self-identify as dogs. . . to use the vocabulary of the day. Does that mean they should have the right to urinate on fire hydrants and sniff everyone that comes their way?

Do they also roll in horse manure? Or something that has been dead for several weeks?

Observing my Labs, I’ve often envied their lifestyle. Free food served regularly, a warm safe dry house to sleep in, and minding when they feel like it.

Bestiality is a sin, and trying to get around it by dressing up as the animal is only a slightly lesser one.
And people who thought themselves animals were always considered more delusional than the delusionals who thought they were other people.
No matter how you look at this, these people are WAY out of the bounds of normal.

Oh, pish.

Who doesn’t like their tummy rubbed?

***Break***

Wow. This is weird. What the hell is wrong with a society that finds this okay?!?

Doesn’t anyone treat mental illness anymore?
