A dog's view of things... ( )

So much fantasy depends on the idea of animals being able to speak, but if our pets and farm animals really could speak to us (the "change" of the title), would we like what they've got to say? How would our relationship to dogs change if we were suddenly on equal footing? This story was beautiful and sad and insightful and totally fascinating, and although it hasn't stopped my desire to have a dog, it will for sure make me look at that dog, when I am able to adopt one, in a totally new light.
