Hello Erin,
I think you have explain your goal more detailed. Maybe I am completely
lost but as far as I understand now you only need the command cbind:
m1 <- cbind(dog, dat, tree)
dog cat tree
[1,] 1 2 5
[2,] 2 3 6
[3,] 3 4 7
But I can't imagine that is the solution you are looking for.
Cheers
David
