It has become apparent that dogs can understand the world just as well upside down:

Researchers at the University of Lincoln have  shown that pet dogs also exhibit "left gaze bias", but only when looking at human faces. No other animal has been known to display this behaviour before. says the New Scientist.

This is perhaps because we spend so much time lying down trying to work out if master is ready for walkies yet, or if we will be able to get our tummies rubbed. None the less, a talent is a talent, however it was acquired. 

Best of all, it is a thing that shows how intelligent dogs are. Only humans have ‘left gaze bias’, and dogs only look at the right side of the human face, not other doggie faces, and dogs adapt their view to their postion, ie upside down or not. Monkeys, who are normally thought to be the brainy ones, can’t do this.

Monkeys are nasty selfish characters anyway and not at all qualified to be man’s best friend and help meet.

Clearly this indicates that the best kind of animal to have in the Doghouse is the canine. The ability to understand the world upside down is obviously necessary in this crazy day and age, when, like the Sufis of yor, we can truly say that the world is upside down, inside out, and the wrong way round. 

So outa my way ‘Boxer’ McCain, Pit Bull Palin and co, it’s the Doghouse for us, and the doghouse for you!

VOTE GEORGE THE DOG ON ELECTION DAY.

Doggie fellows, don’t forget to pull your owners round to the poll booth.
