Quote:I didn't ever feel like a human, I always felt like a dog that was really out of place. I never really had a name for it, being a pup wasn't a thing I knew about. When I met other people like me I felt I could be myself.
I was known by my friends for grabbing hold of the collar of their shirt in my teeth and biting or licking them, very canine-type behaviours. It was always how I was.
The first time I heard the term of being a pup was through a pup I met online, he was the first person I met who was like me. It was a liberating moment knowing there were other people like me, having felt properly weird for the longest time.
It quite often felt like when I was around other people there was something that was not right with them. I go about and live my day-to-day life relatively normally, that includes things like putting collars on and barking at people I know in the street.
If I see pups out in the Village I will bark at them, I get funny reactions from passersby all the time. If I'm going to work I'm picking things that are fairly mild like a t-shirt that says 'pup' on the front. It's an extension of myself and dressing how I feel.
