Free Speech for Dogs – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: I have something to say.

Me: Why should today be any different?

Sweetie: Dogs need free speech! We are constantly being told to quiet down. Free speech! Free speech!

Doodlebug: Yeah! Hear what I’m thinking! Free speech! Free speech!

Me: Since when does loud barking constitute free speech?

MoonCat: Oh, Lady Human, really?

A Bulldog’s Freedom of Speech – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: NOW HEAR THIS!

Me: It’s hard not to.

Sweetie: I hereby declare my bulldog right to freedom of speech!

Doodlebug: Does that mean me, too?

Sweetie: Only when I’m not talking.

MoonCat: That pretty much squeezes the rest of us out.
