A woman who identifies as a dog recently shared insights into her daily life and canine behaviors, such as sleeping in a crate, enjoying treats, and having 'handlers' who assist her. Known as 'Meow' on social media, she appeared on a radio show to discuss her life as a Dalmatian.
Meow explained that she sleeps in a crate and receives dog treats from her handlers. She livestreams her canine activities on Twitch, where she barks and runs on all fours. Sleeping in her crate makes her feel safe and comfortable, surrounded by pastel blankets and pillows.
When asked about her identity as a dog, Meow admitted to being a 'dog girl' who loves to play. She expressed that embracing her playful and enchanted side is a beautiful thing and that being a dog brings her joy.
Meow clarified that she doesn't have a boyfriend but has 'handlers' who take care of her non-sexually. These handlers feed her, take her on walks, and engage in training sessions with her, where she receives treats like chicken, jerky, and dog biscuits.
She mentioned that she sometimes eats dog food, adding bone broth or other additives for flavor. Meow emphasized that she doesn't pay her handlers, who she described as dog trainers.
By embracing her primal and animalistic side, Meow feels more human and unconcerned about others' opinions. She stated that she enjoys being in the moment, focusing on playing and performing as a dog.
Meow clarified that she is not a furry but identifies as an 'inumimi,' a term related to characters with dog-like traits. She also falls under the category of 'otherkin,' a subculture of individuals who identify as non-human beings.
While some people use animal identities for spiritual exploration or self-expression, these concepts are considered subcultural and not widely accepted in mainstream psychology and science.
