Animal sidekicks are so awesome; I wish they were real. I’m not talking about having a pet you bring everywhere on a constrictive leash for the public to gawk at…I’m talking about having a talking dog that never leaves your side. I wish more social clubs could be structured like The Mystery Gang, with a convenient, loveable animal at the helm that perfectly integrates into the friend group. Scooby and Shaggy are soulmates in so many ways, and it would be absurd if their genus, class, and species kept them from being social equals. Who says man is better than dog? I know I sure don’t! Scooby Doo, fictional though he may be, is a testament to his species and the great heights they can reach in the arena of solving mysteries. That, you can’t deny. These animal memes might hit the spot if you want a talking dog in your co-ed friend group.
