As many of my peers have been getting dogs lately, I'm beginning to see that, in certain pairings, there really is some weight behind the idea that people look and act like their canine counterparts. So are there other connections to be made between people and their dogs? Like what about your major? If you were to pick a dog to best represent some of the most popular majors at TCU, could you?
Well you don't have to, because I already did:
Economics-Jack Russell Terrier. The idea of a miniature hunting dog that catches rats seems both goofy and eccentric. The two adjectives that could be used to describe every econ professor ever.
Business-Labrador. A solid go-to selection because of its functionality, versatility, and the fact that you may be able to teach it to actually fetch a newspaper.
Psychology-Collie. They just have the most inquisitive eyes that seem to say “I'm looking into your essence as a human". And, if Timmy ever fell into a well, they would help get to safety by questioning the subliminal effects of his upbringing, that put him in that life situation.
History-Pug. All the wrinkles represent the knowledge learned from pages of history books, and Discovery Channel specials.
Communications- Golden retriever. They just want to know how to best understand you, and to effectively accomplish what you want. And also that guy over there. And his friend. And everyone. Let's just talk to everyone.
Engineering-German Shepard. They always seem super technical and smart, but some people are uncomfortable leaving them alone with their children.
Graphic Design-Cocker Spaniel. The spaniel has a face of perpetual misunderstood sadness, which everyone knows leads to the best artistic creations.
Education-Beagle. Helpful, lovable, and persistent, but in a room full of high schoolers, their bark is going to be worse than their bite.
Nursing-Corgi. Just because corgis would look the most adorable in scrubs.
If I missed your major, then you must be a hybrid of something. Please be flattered rather than offended by this oversight, as everyone knows mutts are the best of all the dogs anyways.
