Since his "conversion," Rambler is more helpful. He doesn’t chase squirrels into the bushes, and he tolerates the neighbor’s cat. He even has "corrected" his owners. Monroe says she and her husband fought one night and retreated to separate rooms. Rambler came to one room, then another with a "disapproving look." He wouldn’t stop until they reconciled before bed.
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.
Then why are so many humans amoral?
An elementary biology class would teach you the value of this Lamark nonsense.
I have two dogs, Nando and Max. When I come home from work I let the dogs out and when they come back in I feed them. Last week Max finished eating first and came to me whining and barking like he wanted to go back out. When I opened the door, Nando, who was still eating, stopped eating and ran outside. Max, instead of going out, then ate the rest of Nando’s food.
Doesn’t sound to moral to me.
I would also submit that dogs understand the basics of a contract - I will do this in return for that - and are quick to take punitive action when the contract is breached by the owners.
