Question Please explain the meaning of this saying

[Boku_]

"Who's dumber, the one led around on a leash like a dog or the one putting the chain around his neck"

I don't understand it. Isn't it a contradiction?

Or am I way off

"Who's dumber?

the one led around on a leash like a dog
or
the one putting the chain around his neck"

My take:
is it dumber to: -blindly follow orders from someone like a dog?
- expect people to be your "dogs", and you the master?

I think you're right fixxxer
