GIZMAG: A dog's view of the world

"I hadn't realised Rex, my Rottweiler, loves sniffing any turd he spots in the garden or in the street: he never stops. Also, he licks his balls on average 3 times an hour: I need to tell Brenda, my wife, because she loves it when Rex licks her face. She might have a re-think. 

Another thought that's crossed my mind is that I'd like Brenda to wear one round her neck: I'd like to see the world through the eyes of a woman. I've never done that before. 

It might be interesting. I mean, how do you know what they think, on a daily basis? A bit like Rex, so to speak. It's a mystery. It's not like you listen when your wife talks to you, most of the time -- I mean, life's too short and we're all busy, innit?" commented Ralph Plank, a builder from Peckham (London).
