"I'm my own best friend."

Born Gary Matthews, the retired technology worker and a self-confessed "nerd" thinks he is a dog. The 48-year-old wears a dog collar, eats dog food from a bowl — his favorite is Pedigree – and loves milk bones and dog cookies.
"I don't eat dog food every day," Matthews told ABCNews.com "It's a special thing for me to do once in awhile to get closer to feeling like a canine. I eat the canned kind. It's not bad -- it tastes OK. I eat regular human food, too, like pizza."
But he has the most fun wearing his dog suit, code-named "Papey," because he made it from shredded paper. He wanders around the streets of his hometown Pittsburgh, barking at cars and digging holes in the backyard.

This will be another “gender” soon, with all sorts of special “protected class” privileges with it.
At least it sounds he is spending his trust fund a little less destructively than the Occupy Wall Street crowd . . .
But you do see him around here. Grocery shopping, walking around without his suit. He used to go to the BP station my oldest son managed a few years ago. I think he sometimes goes to the nearby Beer World that my oldest son now manages. I’ll ask.
I think he should proceed with hormone treatments, and if that goes well, consider a transspeciation operation. I think I read somewhere in the 1,000s of pages of the ACA that it’s covered by taxpayers.
You go, Boomer!!
“Money is not a problem. When his parents died, he inherited their house and they left him a trust fund to live on.”
At least Dog-Man isn’t on the dole like that huge guy who dresses up and acts like a baby.
"I'm my own best friend."
“Can I ask a stupid question? How is this any different than males who feel that they are females, and vice versa?”
You beat me to it.
What you are doing is using a logical principle advanced by Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein. It is a type of defining philosophy. Ol’ Ludwig was an odd fish but his realization that saying “I don’t like you” is the same as saying “I don’t like cabbage” is actually a very useful logical tool. If the left claims that a being whose DNA tells us is a human but thinks he is a dog is crazy then a being whose DNA tells us he is a male but thinks he is a female is also crazy.
He is no crazier than a man who wants to cut off his Penis and have a home made Vagina installed.
0.00bama is not that huge.
This is a borderline personality disorder, a kind of mental illness. This guy needs treatment. It’s funny but it’s also pathological.
If it’s ok for men to think they’re women and women to think they’re men, then it should be ok for him to think he’s a dog. Just wait until he’s demanding a fire hydrant next to unisex restrooms.
He’s not on disability. He’s got a trust fund.
OK, but you'll be 336 in dog years ... think you'll live that long? ;-)
THNX. I’ve never seen that one.
It’s funny, but kinda disgusting at the same time! But,,,,,, that’s Cheech and Chong!
Has he had himself fixed?
Let’s look that up in the old diagnostic manual. Symptoms......well, he thinks he’s a dog. Oh, here it is.....”Bats**t Crazy”. Well, that was simple enough. Let’s look at some possible therapies. “Hit him in the head with a stick until he gets better.” If that don’t work, you could at least play fetch with him.
