After plenty of deliberation, it has been decided that an elderly, dutiful, canine companion will not be accepted into The Good Place. Given his seemingly trustworthy, kind and loyal demeanor it has surprised many to see him be rejected from an eternity of pampering.
For those who are unaware, The Good Place is the afterlife for good people. A common stumbling block for aspiring entrants is that their actions must be guided by pure selfless goodness. Otherwise any positive act will count negatively if carried out with an ulterior cause in mind.
The decision to keep old Rover away from the land of pure comfort was reached after a bombshell exposé that revealed his true, far less sweet motives behind his adorable disposition.
The reason Rover ever fetched or rolled over was the unofficial promise of a small snack. That time he played dead? He didn’t want to display his supreme acting ability because of his love for the art form. It was the treat.
Unbelievable. An utter betrayal. Here we all thought that he just liked following orders because it’s fun for him somehow. But now we know for certain. It was the treats. Nothing else.
Defenders of the gluttonous canine have claimed that this is an unfair setup. How does one even explain the concept to a dog?
But the dog world functions as a treat-based economy. So when they work towards making more treats then that is akin to the same money-minded greed that swells the human psyche. There are no billionaires in The Good Place either.
Its a shame things how things have turned out but the rules are the rules.
I don't know where this is going either.
