Genetic (mitochondrial DNA) testing being performed at the University of South Carolina, College of Science and Mathematics, indicates that these dogs, related to the earliest domesticated dogs, are the remnant descendants of the feral pariah canids who came across the Bering land mass 8,000 to 11,000 years ago as hunting companions to the ancestors of the Native Americans.

Is there any doubt that dogs won't be joining us in the Afterlife? If not, I ain't goin'! I'd much rather meet up in Heaven with any of my former pet dogs than with either of my Ex-Husbands, LOL!
I'm so stuned by the mummifird dogs that I may have to use my beeber! ;-)
