Ghost Dog

When your dog dies, do you want it to come back as a ghost dog?

At first this seems like a great idea. You get the benefits of having a dog, i.e. companionship, without all the hassles of feeding it or taking it on walks.

However, upon further analysis it may be more trouble than its worth if the ghost dog isn't obedient. And let's face it, what incentive does a ghost dog have to be obedient anyway? It would probably be constantly pestering you, and you'd have no recourse. If it wanted to lick your face, but you didn't want it to, how are you going to stop it? It's a ghost dog. It can pretty much do what it wants.

Conclusion: a ghost dog would not be worth having as a pet.
