Strange thought....
I've always thought of it as analogous. I've had the thought that, when my pets graduate/harvest whatever, that I will probably be their guides, and that my relationship with my guides is similar (though it's probably been a while since my own harvest into 3D). But yes, I've considered that before, haha.
Of my two dogs, I'm certain about my German shepherd being near harvestable. She's extremely intelligent and sensitive, has a very high vocabulary, and is CONSTANTLY interested in us, watching us, interacting with us, learning from us. She understands fairly complex things like sarcasm and jokes. She creates new games to interact with each of us in the ways that are most conducive to getting more playtime. She obviously wants to be "people" so bad, I have no doubt that she's close.
My shih tzu, on the other hand, I just don't know. I suspect he's fairly highly evolved already. He's the easiest dog I've ever had. We have the same birthday, and I knew to pick him from the litter because he had the same birthmark (white streak of hair) on the top of his head as I do. He's constantly at my side, a little battery, never asks me for anything. If I were to sleep through the day, he wouldn't budge from my side, not to eat, not to go out, nothing. When I'm about to leave the house, he positions himself (I typed "myself" which was an interesting slip!) in the wedge of the door so I have to physically move him to get out. I suspect he does some sort of dreamwork with me, considering how stuck to me he is especially when I'm asleep. Soon after I got him I had several dreams confirming to me that he was a dog that I had as a child, a maltese stray my dad brought home who I named Angel. I'm fairly certain my shepherd is my other dog from when I was growing up.
I switched them to vegan diets almost a month ago now, after seriously being felt like they were both "asking" for it very insistently. Turns out, they probably were - they are both so excited about their new food! Their behaviors have changed, in fact the other morning when I overslept, my shih tzu was actually woofing at me to wake up and feed him! Totally abnormal! They love it so much. I think this is a sign that they are, in the least, late 2D. My husband and I are the type of couple who treats their pets nearly as kids, but it makes sense why this is a phenomenon. We were probably all someone's domesticated companion at some time or another.
