"Unhappy" and "Happy" are irrelevant as they're ephemeral emotional states - thus the question actually reads:

Would you rather be a human or a dog?

I'm going to go with option 3: a human with the ability to turn into a dog.

A human that can lick their own genitals.

Simple enough. Just have a couple of ribs removed.

There is a word for that. "Warewolf". Dogs are just domesticated wolves.

It's your guts, not your ribs in the way. There's also folks who can do it without any alterations to their body.

===========================

I wouldn't be happy as a dog, I'd have to kill myself because it's better to be dead than to be a filthy coprophage.

It's a reference to a common myth regarding both Prince and Marilyn Manson.
