It’s funny how we treat these creatures like oddly formed humans. They are only capable of living with us, they are in no way like us.
Au contraire! The wolf is a “natural animal.” Dogs have co-habitated with humans for so long, they’ve lost their lupine traits. They are so used to humans as masters, that they no longer psychologically mature, being incapable of true alpha-male roles. They have adapted their digestive systems to leftovers. They have developed cognitive capabilities seen nowhere else in the animal world, such as object permanence. Their language skills are unrivaled among mammals, even by apes and dolphins.
My dogs are better people than most people.
