a dog pisses over a tree to mark its territory.

 

it doesn’t like it if before its piss has dried, another dog comes along and pisses on that particular tree.

 

yet at the same time, the dog wants to move on to other trees and mark them as its territory.

 

it might be selfish of the dog, but it wants the tree to still be there, and still marking the scent of its pee if the dog wishes to turn back.

 

 

conclusion?

 

the dog deserves to be shot.

and perhaps, the tree chopped down.
