15 Animals Who Dream Of Being Dogs Someday

Being a dog seems like the best gig ever. Possibly even better than writing lists. We are therefore not particularly surprised that other members of the animal kingdom want in on some of this furry, slobbery, holy-sh*t-was-that-a-squirrel-y action, as shown by the ample evidence below. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, duh.

And so we present: a bunch of panting, snuggling, stick-chasing non-canines who clearly wish they were dogs. Big shoutout to imgurians everywhere.

We bet this guy's favorite thing is sticking his head out the window in the car.
