If you could be any animal, what animal would you be and why? If you could be any animal, what animal would you be and why? If I could be any animal, there is no second thought, I would definitely be a dog. Undoubtedly. Everyone loves dogs these days, apparently. You know, whether it is girls, boys, of all ages, everyone loves dogs. But I don't love dogs. That is my thing. That is, I want to be a dog and see what is so lovely about it. I mean, for someone who's been bitten by a dog twice, but— and Pun, yeah, unfortunately I've been bitten by a dog twice. And the first time it happened, I was 5 years old. I was playing catch and throw with my friend, and I was— he had the ball and he was about to throw it, and suddenly he was about to throw and he stopped. I asked, what happened? And then from here, that was the first time. I had to take 5 injections. And my— and since I was 5 years old, my parents just told me, okay, let's go, let's go shopping. And they took me and I had an injection. The next time they told me, okay, we have to go shopping again, Then I didn't want to go shopping again, but somehow they convinced me and I had 5 injections. The second time, unfortunately, it was because of my friend. We were both outside a building and we were about to go home. It was like 10 minutes away, so we were supposed to walk. Now one dog came in front of us, he started barking for no good reason. Now I had, I've had my not so good experience and I don't like dogs anyway, so I went up and I also acted like a dog. So he brought his friend. Now there are two dogs barking at us and I don't know what to do. So my friend, who is a bit heavy, so he starts running first because he knows they're gonna come after us. So I told him, wait, don't worry, nothing will happen, I can deal with them now. So now this time I bark even harder, and this time they start running. And I am so scared, I don't want that experience again. I run really fast. I ran home, and before I could reach home, my friend unfortunately, uh, bit that day. And yeah, so that is the one— those are the two reasons why I don't like dogs. So really, I'm just more than curious about why people like dogs. So yeah, if I would ever be an animal, it would be a dog. Thank you.
