 When my dog, Bernie, tangled with a pickup truck in 2020, he found himself in surgery to have one of his legs amputated. In the aftermath of that surgery he had a significant array of stitches lining his hip and was forced to spend many days with a cone around his head to prevent him from licking the stitches. 
It turns out that dogs don’t have the cognitive abilities to know that licking their stitches can cause problems. They have an impulse and they follow it without being able to measure the consequences, so they end up with a cone to make sure they don’t hurt themselves.
We have far greater brainpower than our pups, but I think we often find ourselves metaphorically “licking our stitches,” by reacting emotionally, blaming others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, and spending too much of our time on low leverage activities.
When a dog has an impulse, it just reacts, but YOU have the ability to consider your responses to external stimuli and make reasoned choices about how best to proceed.
