While we're on the subject, Milo

Why are you so convinced that every dog larger than you is planning to kill you, anyway? Bigger dogs can approach you with body language clearly indicating submission or a good-natured invitation to play, and still you remain adamant that they mean you ill will. Why do you so stubbornly believe that another dog will hurt you based only on its size, regardless of its actual behavior toward you? Why must you profile and assume the worst? Why must you assume it's all about you? Humans would never make such baseless assumptions about our own kind.

We would never assume that a person who makes more money than we do must look down on us.

We would never assume that people speaking in a language we don't understand are talking about us.

We would never assume that a woman in a headscarf wishes us evil.

We would never assume that a man bench-pressing more than we can thinks we are less of a man.

We would never assume that someone thinner than we are pities or despises us.

We would never assume that a teetotaller is counting our drinks and judging us.

We would never assume that a woman dressed more stylishly than we are is preening at the comparison.

We would never assume that a person of another race will mug us.

We would never assume that a person reading the Bible believes we are damned.

We would never assume that a woman in a miniskirt and heels is leading us on.

We would never assume that a slow driver is deliberately trying to annoy us.

So really, Milo. Smarten up and be more like us.
