,,, did you ever see that British movie "The cook, the thief, his wife and her lover"? The scenario is very similar.

Some scenarios are timeless...which is all I really wanted to point out. People these days, at least in The Media, tend to sanctify what they cannot prove, and villify that which they have in hand.

We dogs never do that. We love everybody (almost)...but when you stop feeding us...we'll eat you too. Everyone gets the same treatment...first suspicion (do you want to take my food), then gratitude (thanks for feeding me), then...well...once it's room temperature...it IS food !

We don't concern ourselves about the motivations of dogs past. We know that dogs are dogs. Period.

You want to learn about the real world...watch the early Three Stooges, Bowery Boys, Little Rascals, Laurel & Hardy. They got by, and were always on the make. THAT's the world, in my humble, canine opinion. The exceptions are exceptions...and if they stand still too long, the new prey-species on the block.
