A Dog's Tale

Once upon a time there lived a dog under a tree.

He lead an extremely simple life as the food was aplenty nearby. 

He ate, played in the mud, ran like a stead and let the air sink into his fluffy hair. There wasn't a care in his life. 

Everyday felt heavenly. 

Then, one day on his usual wandering about into the woods, he came across a squirrel.

He had never seen a squirrel before. It was fury, tiny and ran around hither thither with lightening speed. 

He was mesmerized by this strange creature and lost track of time staring at her. 

Then, someone poked his bum with a stick which brought him out of his trance. 

It was that very squirrel. 

With her bright eyes and aggressive manner she asked him what he was doing near her home. The dog was dumbfounded as there was nothing which resembled a dwelling of any kind. 

Upon seeing the confused look on his face she said 'not down here, you dummy'. 

Then, the dog just heard the words 'beep beep' and found the squirrel running upwards onto the tree. At this sight the following words came out of his mouth uncontrollably 'fucking cunt'.

The dog envied her as she could climb up the tree as naturally as breathing. 

She called to him 'come up here, fool. You can do it'

Suddenly there arose an urge in him to get up there onto the tree. He gathered all the strength he could and ran towards the tree.
His pace was so ferocious that he reached at the top in a short while and found out that his stopping prowess wasn't sufficient at all. 

While he was plummeting towards the ground he thought 'Oh Fuck'.

Fully expecting to die upon hitting the ground, he was flabbergasted to find out that he was not only alive but was actually energized beyond belief. 

Upon seeing the squirrel he boomed: I'm alive, I'm alive!

He was expecting some sort of sympathy or happiness or perhaps some surprise maybe....

What he got was 'Of-course you are. As you are a cute little squirrel, just like me, we squirrels can withstand falls from much greater heights'.

It took a moment to sink in but the dog eventually realized that this little being was onto something. Her fur did look similiar. Then there was the fact that he was still alive. Other dots started to get connected as well.
 

This startling revelation was too much for him.
He passed out.
When he gained consciousness he realized he was inside the squirrel's dwelling, resting upon a tiny straw bed. 

Then the squirrel came into view and started talking about how happy she was that he was alive and now that he was there they were going to have a wonderful time.

Everything they'll ever need was available in abundance and...

The sound of her words got muffled as his head started spinning again. All he could get out of his mouth was 'but I thought I was a dog' .

'That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. 

You are a gentle, sweet and kind squirrel with cute cheeks. Don't ever forget that'  said the squirrel.

Moral: Sometimes it takes someone else to make one realize who he/she really is.
