Robert Pattinson dreams of becoming a dog

Look at that scruff. We'd say he's well on his way toward his dream!

Robert Pattinson would very much like to be a dog.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon actor feels a “deep connection” with dogs, reports Monsters and Critics. When asked what he’d become if he could truly transform from being human, he did not say a vampire. No, he said what any brilliant, wonderful person would say: “I think I’d be a dog…There’s a deep connection between me and dogs.” Since we are an all-dog staff, Robert has just shot up to be our number-one big-screen idol.

“The lifestyle of a dog has always fascinated me: You sleep, sit around, get stroked, eat and get walked from time to time. That’s great!” he said.

I hate to remind him, but the “eat” part of the equation often involves kibble. But far be it for me to discourage him, and we’re pretty sure he gets plenty of strokes as it is. What’s important is that this man, who is the reason many tween and teen girls get out of bed every morning, wants to be one of us. He wants four legs and a tail, and all the good stuff that comes with it.

A little sentence in a 12-page Vanity Fair spread about the star this month confirms his love of dogs: “All that he really wants is a home, so he can get a dog, since the West Highland white terrier he had since the age of five and ‘who was like my sister’ died last Christmas.”

And here’s further proof that he’s at one with dogs. The below video is apparently of him singing Stray Dog. It’s not really a video. It’s a picture, with him singing the song. Try as we might to find a video of him actually moving his lips and singing, we could not. Since we couldn’t understand most of the lyrics, we assume he truly was moving his lips. But maybe he sang this with his vampire teeth in. That’s always difficult. If it sounds more like he’s saying “Stray Door” than “Stray Dog,” you’re not alone.
