Ping?
I have to give a plug for our Maltipoo puppy, who relishes chasing his tail around in circles as shown on this YouTube clip:

No, dog domesticated man.
Now, over with that part, the writer seems to believe that early man (in the Paleolothic) didn't think of dogs as food items.
How strange. Of course they are food, and a very good food at that. You can call and whistle for one of your small dogs and he'll run and jump right up in your arms where you can begin the slaughter without a further word.
Even cows don't do that!
They say a dog is man’s best friend. If you spell dog backwards you get God.
My 85lb. Pitador and 95 lb. Great Dane agree with you. Just look at all the free services and goodies they get out of us.

There’s also genetic evidence man domesticted the dog 100,000 years ago: http://www.workingdogweb.com/DogOrigins.htm. If true it would mean man and dog literally evolved together. It’s no wonder they play us like violins. Obie Wan has been my faithful companion for 7 years. He protects me day and night and is better company than most humans I know. |
Adam and Eve packed up their stuff, dog in tow, and left the garden.
I believe most of us dog owners knew intuitively that 5,000 years had to be wrong.
It's like knowing, intuitively that man had language, tools, shelter etc. more that 5,000 years.
It's arguable that dogs enabled man to truly civilize and subdue the planet.
Before them we had no eyes, ears or noses. We were too slow.
With them we became the Alpha Predator and were no longer prey to any beast.
A fundamental transition point in human development.
Oh, and fundamental to canine development as well. It was and has been a synergistic association.
Dogs got food, warmth and protection too.
And music.
And BACON! :)
