If a dog was your teacher, you would learn stuff like:
> When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
> When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
> Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
> Take naps.
> Run, romp, and play daily.
> Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
> On hot days, drink lots of water, and lie under a shady tree.
> When you're happy, dance around, and wag your entire body.
> Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
> Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
> Be loyal. Never pretend to be something you're not.
> When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.
> When you are having a bad day, lick your balls.
