Anyone who has owned a pet (or a few) has had a moment where their animal did something that made them think, is my pet secretly a human trapped inside of an animal's body? I am not ashamed to admit that I've told my dog to speak to me in English if she secretly could.

Despite the scientific animal hierarchy, our pets have a funny knack of acting a little too human for it all to be a coincidence.

The fact that their poses are the exact same even after they turn to look because they know they've been caught is so perfect and terrifying. What out, Mom and Dad—they're up to something.
