Dogs are dumb.

And that is why they are so magical. Yeah, yeah, some dogs are smart and can do lots of tricks and sense earthquakes and save us from home invaders and even alert the neighbors when we've had an epileptic episode and are paralyzed. But they have tiny, uncomplicated brains. They don't think about ideas or concepts like love, trust, happiness, and they don't ask why or analyze the joy out of their experiences. They just do them, and let us do us. Dogs are magical. Small brains and big drooly smiles.
