Hundreds of Dog-Identifying People Gather in Berlin City Center: A Woof-Worthy Event

KISS | September 20, 2023

On a sunny day in Berlin, Germany, hundreds of people who identify as dogs gathered in the city center for a unique event. The participants, known as “therians,” came from all over the world to celebrate their canine identities.

The event began with a group howl, followed by a series of activities and workshops designed to help therians connect with their inner dogs. There was a dog yoga class, a dog costume contest, and a workshop on how to communicate with dogs.

The therians also took some time to explore Berlin from a canine perspective. They sniffed around the city parks, played fetch in the fountains, and even tried to beg for treats at the cafes.

Of course, not everyone was understanding of the therians’ unique lifestyle. Some passersby stared or even laughed at the participants. But the therians didn’t let that bother them. They were simply happy to be together and to celebrate their canine identities.

So, what is it like to identify as a dog?

Therians say that they feel a strong connection to dogs, both physically and emotionally. They may have canine mannerisms, such as barking or wagging their tails. They may also have a strong desire to spend time with dogs and to participate in canine activities.

Why do people identify as dogs?

There are many reasons why people might identify as dogs. Some therians say that they feel like they were born in the wrong body. Others say that they simply feel a strong connection to dogs and want to celebrate their canine identity.

Whatever the reason, it’s important to respect the right of therians to identify as they see fit.

Here are a few quotes from therians who participated in the Berlin event:

  • “I’ve always felt like a dog. I love to play fetch, I bark when I’m happy, and I even wag my tail sometimes. This event is a great way to celebrate my canine identity and to meet other people who feel the same way.”
  • “I’m not a dog, but I identify as a therian. It means that I feel a strong connection to dogs. I love their energy, their playful spirit, and their unconditional love. This event is a great way for me to express my canine identity and to connect with other therians.”
  • “I’m here to support my friends who identify as dogs. I think it’s important to respect people’s right to identify however they see fit. This event is a great way for therians to celebrate their identity and to feel accepted.”

So, if you see a group of people barking and wagging their tails in Berlin city center, don’t be alarmed. They’re just dog-identifying people celebrating their unique lifestyle.
