“Sorry, no opposable thumbs.”

Arrgh, you scurvy dog!

You better be nice to that doggy or you’ll have to walk the plank, Buster.

Well he can’t batten but I bet he can dog the hatches.

He can be the ship’s mascot…

Who’s a good boy?

Stop wagging your tail and sit at attention!

Where does he take the dog for his, uhhhhh, walks?? And what does a Pirate use for doggy bags?

Get up here on the Poop Deck where you belong you scurvy dog.

He looks like he is just a sweet little puppy! He’s already doing what he should. Looking cute and wagging his tail.

We’ll assign you to the dog watch.

It’s refreshing to see a pirate without a hook hand or peg leg ( that’s the first time I’ve used refreshing in a sentence!).

He doesn’t bark, he barghs.

“Sorry, sir. I’m not much of a battener.

“But do you still love me? Please?”

How much is that doggie on the poop deck — the one with the waggily tail?

“Thump your tail on the hatches!”

Every dog needs a job.

Yar! Stop ye chewin’ on the plank, ya mangey sea dog! She is but a stump of splintered timber now.

Oh come on. You don’t ask the crew member who is obviously the Morale Officer to do menial chores like battening and what-not.
