The lefties and evos probably think this elevates dogs

when all it really does is devalue humans.

//when all it really does is devalue humans//

Maybe thats the underlying point.

Dr Peter Pongracz from Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest, and colleagues have produced evidence dog barks contain information that people can understand.

Living with humans has taught dogs morals, say scientists

Wha......are they f'ing retarded or something? Thanks for the ping, but I'm not really interested in reading nonsense like this.

[metmom]

Like I said.....

And evos wonder why people don’t take scientists seriously.

Every one wonders why dogs pee on car tires.
If you had a dog’s nose, it would be like a dotted line
right back home.

I’ve heard it said that if a man could suddenly smell as much as a dog it would drive him insane.
Imagine, you’d know when every female in the neighborhood was in heat.

my brother learned how to lick his balls.

Do y'all make sure he gets some food once in a while?

“That and having a lot of ammo on hand...”

Now if you could train your dog to police up you brass...

I have a Golden retriever & I was buying a large bag of Purina at Wal-Mart and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.

I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her. Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned. I told her no; it was because I'd been sitting in the street licking my gonads and a car hit me.

I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he staggered out the door.

I tried that story once, with ‘chased a car and ran into a bus stop sign’ at the end.

Keepin’ the water bowl full is more important in these cases.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

Thanks for the ping!

Interesting observations.

[editor-surveyor]

One wonders what a dog would do with morals, since the sum total of their societal obligations is emptying their food dish, and depositing the processed remains out of doors.

Seek a 12 step program. You’ve already completed the first step admitting there’s a problem.

[Politicalkiddo]

Then why are so many humans amoral?

[KGeorge]

I think they’ve got this backwards. just sayin...

An elementary biology class would teach you the value of this Lamark nonsense.
