Alright; I’ll bite. Where’s the dog? I’m still confused.

[amenhotep]

The author is a furry, and the dog being referred to is himself

(Do other kink subcultures do this stuff??)

[wolfgang42]

Furries do tend to be more open about kink (as part of the community’s general culture of acceptance), but to describe furry as a “kink subculture” is misleadingly reductive at best.

[userbinator]

It reminded me of the old comic with the phrase "on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog".

[indrora]

Less kink and more “if you’re on the internet why NOT pretend to be a walking talking dog?”

See also, VTubers, manga artists (who often represent themselves as characters), and our tendency to anthropomorphize computers (“it’s gotta think”)

It's not a kink subculture. There are kink subcultures within it, but the only common factor among all the subcultures inside it is an appreciation for anthropomorphism.

Hi fox.

[vzqx]

The author has a fursona, so I think the author himself is the dog.

[Kye]

Famed for the "when you like my post, it's like you're putting a treat in my mouth" tweet and pictures of lonely abandoned objects.

[cmgbhm]

It’s the author.
