A dog is a free being, doesn't need to study, doesn't need to waste its life working, doesn't need to have manner and get into political discussions or any of that crap. They just live, find happiness in the most natural ways, enjoy their lives. It's the humans who are all tangled up in a mass of stuff that, in the end, really doesn't count for much and we usually end up wondering why we aren't happy more often. I mean, you take a collar off your dog and he's gleeful, goes bouncing around and rolling and rubbing himself and he's just happy for that little thing. You take him out to the park or beach and let him run free and you can tell by his whole body language he is blissful. You don't see grown people like that. Don't take that away from dogs!
