The Scottie dog. He could be balanced on his hind legs and tail, too, if you did it right. ---

The dog. I always figured that they wouldn’t put dogs in jail (now that I think about it they wouldn’t put any of the pieces in jail really.) I thought a dog should go to a pound instead of a jail. ---

So, we’ll never have the World’s Biggest Monopoly Game at a DopeFest, because too many people would be taking _my_ piece. I want the dog, dammit! (unless they have an earthworm piece.) -Dirty [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-monopoly-piece-must-you-be/112818.md?page=1)
