Thoughts Of Dog
is a Twitter account that posts random thoughts from the mind of a dog. It spun off from We Rate Dogs and has achieved a certain degree of Internet success (over 3 million followers and counting) due to the inherent comedy and adorableness of the dog's musings and updates on their life with their human and their favorite toy, which the dog refers to as "my stuffed fren sebastian."
Thoughts Of Dog provides examples of:
- all lowercase letters: The dog's tweets are written like this.
- Attention Deficit... Oh, Shiny!: At least he admits it.The Dog: i’m sorry i forgot to say gooooob morning. i woke up. and was immediately distracted by everything.
- Beige Prose: Befitting of a dog. They're not known to be great authors.
- Big Friendly Dog: If the profile picture is any indication, the dog is big enough to carry a large watermelon rind in their mouth with little trouble. And they certainly are friendly.
- CAPS LOCK: When the dog park is mentioned, or when the human comes home early.
- Character Catchphrase: "gooooob morning."
