First instinct was cats but reading through the thread and now I'm thinking spiders would be kind of fun.

I'd expand that to all corvids. Not sure why it did, but when I found out that Ravens (whose calls are normally nothing like Crows) had been observed making Crow calls to get them to come play it blew my mind.
How do Ravens play with Crows?

The people saying dogs realize we been cutting off their balls for awhile right? You know a lot of dogs head is level to on a man? You are just asking to be neutered.

I would chose dogs myself, but ^. So racoon. I think with their little paws. We could put them to work making stuff in small spaces.

This. But gun to my head I choose something weak so it'd be hard to overthrow us. So something like a butterfly.

Finally, another realistic person. Everyone is thinking "ooo talking dogs :)" like a child. Imagine if dogs actually had human intelligence and human motivations? Suddenly they'd recognize their place in society, might not be so good. What if they want more? Instead of barking, they'd actually tell you. A lot. Maybe organize with other dogs that think like them. Maybe they'll start demanding wages for their work, in something other than "treats." Maybe they start to question things about society. Maybe they will see clipping their balls off as a rights violation and argue against that.

You'll find dogs will likely no longer be content with being "cute pets." And then what?

Replace dogs with the common person and you just illustrated why Capitalism needs to be dismantled.

Squid.

Signing the death warrant for human kind.

Mimicry, no bones, incredibly aggressive.

In my opinion after the next ELE it will be said a turn at civilization.

Yeah seriously. I choose turtles. Theyre long lived too so they can tell stories to future children.

Thinking about it more considering I don't think the majority of humans around the globe could handle having another organic species as a equal fuck this. Humans would get jealous, or threatened, or something worse. There's already God knows how many people who think leaving your dog or cat behind in a storm is okay.

Yeah pretty much all dogs have defective genetics at this point.

They used to be more like wolves.

Elephants. Very chill animals.
The ladies, maybe. But than you'd have to deal with frat bulls raiding breweries and distilleries to get wasted and then humping cars and each other In fact, elephants doing that is already a problem:https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/20/science/drunk-elephants-genes.html. Not to mention an elephant is, in and of itself, a deadly weapon.

They do; however, seem pretty chill overall, and their trunks are strong and versatile appendages.
