Analysis from a friend:
So there’s this game where every person has a dog breed equivalent. You can do it in one of two ways: physical appearances or disposition– no one comes out happy playing the physical appearance version and it’s usually just based on haircuts anyway– so I’ll just do disposition. You are The Blue Heeler, a tireless herding dog, easily one of the smartest breeds.
Their physical energy mixed with their intelligence gives them a higher rate of mental disorders IF they’re not given room to run, a job to do and, most importantly, attention.
I met a guy who breeds these dogs when I was a kid, and among all the anthropomorphization a dog breeder is disposed to getting up to out in the woods, what stuck with me the most is that, according to him, the Blue Heeler is the only breed that will work or play catch with you until it has a heart attack. The dog’s sense of well being is outweighed by its need to be engaged.
I’ll admit that Blue Heelers specifically fascinate me, so I’m prone to projecting a fair bit. ALSO I just went to the wiki site to see the soul of a dog breed. Or the things dog breeders make up out there. Alone and going crazy with dogs.
