... they would advocate for spay/neutering and adopting homeless pets from shelters/rescues rather than buying from pet shops and breeders.

If dogs could talk, public cell phone conversations might get more interesting and less annoying.
If dogs could talk, human languages would acquire more words for smells and tastes.
If dogs could talk, a lot of employees would be calling home during the day to see what the dog was up to.
If dogs could talk, they could spill many details about the human lives they observe with such great attention.
If dogs could talk, their humans could finally learn what happened before the shelter adoption or before the stray was welcomed inside.
If dogs could talk, I'd finally get proof that my dog is as good of a comedian as I think she is.

I think Spencer communicates pretty well. If he could talk, he would give us his philosophy, which is:
1) Be nice to everybody at the dog park. You never know where else you might meet them.
2) Our muzzles may turn gray, but we should never be so dignified that we can't enjoy an ear scratch or a tummy rub.
3) We all have to work for our dinners. Even if your job is just to "sit" and "stay," you should practice it so you do it well.
4) Never refuse the chance to go out back to pee. You can never be sure when you'll have the next opportunity.
5) A spoonful of sugar may help the medicine go down, but a spoonful of peanut butter is a lot more interesting.
6) Every day you should dance your dance, bark your song, and take your walk. You'll feel better.

If my Golden Retriever could talk she would demand her drivers licence. I don't let her drive in town, because she has a problem reaching the clutch (for one thing) and just will not listen (like any other teenager).
There must be a good reason that 'natural selection' has not yet allowed Golden Retrievers to develop true speech. I suspect they would be veryself centered.

They would remind us everday how precious their world is with us in it and them in ours. To apreciate everyday as if it's our last.
