Talking dog, it's so obviously talking dog

I feel like you could easily just make money off their TV performances... Wait is the dog like as smart as a person? Isn't going to start demanding that it sign its own contracts and have its own bank account? That could get old fast.

Why are people obsessed with using the dog to get money or women or whatever? It's a talking fucking dog!! That's a cool ass pet I wanna chill with my cool talking dog.

I think the conversation wouldn't be very stimulating and it would get old fast.

"Got any more treats?"

No.

"Wanna touch me a little?"

NO.

"...can I hump your leg a little, at least?"

Nobody would believe it. They'd accuse you of faking it a la Milli Vanilli. You have a talking dog, a literal miracle, and yet people would mock and criticize. Depressed, you'd turn to alcohol. The good shit, sure--that dog made you a little money, after all--but paying more for your poison only makes it drain all of your resources that much faster. You're a husk of your former self.

But you've still got your dog who still loves you unconditionally, against all odds. :)

Having a dog that speaks Cantonese would be a great way to get a girlfriend that speaks both English and Cantonese, and make a shit ton of money as the dog talks to people, and the girlfriend translates.

How do you know she isn't mistranslating your messages to the dog to make it think she's on its side? You've got an awful lot of trust...

Who cares, if the money flows in? Even if both dog and and girlfriend are lying about the words, the audience will eat it up and pay for the extra entertainment!

You might not appreciate what they have to say as much as you expect. Let's just put it that way.

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is this a reference to something I don't get? Because I dunno how talking dog is some monkeys paw cursed blessing just because it speaks Cantonese. I don't speak Cantonese, but, like 80 million other people do. So I could learn.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Nobody said it was negative. It simply is what it is. The dog speaks Cantonese. Take it or leave it.
