You wonder why your cat acts like it does. Most studies indicate cats were domesticated only 10,000 years ago. WOOF!

Dog has been man's best friend for 33,000 years, DNA study finds

The number of dogs I like is much higher than the number of people I like.

"The Daily Caller noted that in President Obama's best-selling memoir, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, the president recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.

"With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy)," the president wrote. "Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths.

He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.""

Just proof that God loves man and provided natural tools and animals easily domesticated to help us and even to be a comfort to us as well!

The best theory I’ve ever heard about how dogs and humans learned to hunt together goes like this.

Dogs (read wolves) are great at running down large prey. They can chase and harry a bison, for example, nipping at its legs and generally exhausting the poor beast. Humans could never give chase like that.

But then, once the bison is worn down and cornered, moving in for the kill is the dangerous part. The bison still has horns and enough strength to fight back effectively. The dogs may win the contest but at no small risk.

The actual kill is where humans excel, with their spears and arrows, moving in to finish off the brute. So the dogs hang back and watch the carnage.

When all is said and done, the humans share the spoils with their 4-legged hunting partners and everybody is happy and safe. Except the bison, of course.
