What Is Your First Thought When You See This Image??

We all get moved by images we see. Some images make us angry, some make us sad, yet others will make us laugh. Here is an image of two dogs, and only God knows what is going through their heads. We can all speculate, yet 99% of us will be wrong. Why? Because no one but God knows.

People anthropomorphize animals in many ways, but often times the animals just do things themselves (without training) which remind us of human behavior. This behavior probably helped our ancestors understand other creatures that would help us get to where we are. Our ancestors needed both cats and dogs. Without cats, the Egyptians probably wouldn't have lasted very long. Early civilizations required a lot of food, agriculture is what allowed us to civilize. Lots of crops also means lots of pests like rats and other rodents that wanted that which humans needed to preserve for long periods of time. Cats controlled the rodent population and prevented famine. The humans who were more tolerated the cats, had crops eaten less.

As for dogs, they were predators, like us. They competed with us, but some of them were more subservient than others and made faces that invoked that empathy response. We learned that when we tossed them a bone from the remains of our kill, they reacted positively to our kindness. I'm sure we tolerated the dogs that we best understood, or at least the ones that acted friendly to us. In time men learned they could befriend and even train them to help in hunting and to be companions for our young. In return they defended the territory they considered theirs from other predators that would do harm to us.

There is an old legend that speaks as to why the dogs are so friendly to man. It began when the Lord divided the lands. We learn that the greatgreatgreatgrandson of Noah was Peleg. Peleg was born to Eber, which is where the name Hebrew came from. It was during the days of Peleg when the Lord divided the continents of the earth. Genesis 10:25 For instance, the land road we refer to as the Bearing Strait, between Alaska and Russia would have caved thus dividing two continents. Now it was at that moment when the Dogs chose man.

As the land bridge began to collapse the dog looked back at man, and at the last moment possible, it jumped back to the land that man was on and joined him instead of the rest of the animal world. While the rest of the animal world was separated by heart and mind from man, the dog chose to be of one mind and heart with mankind. Thus, through the years the dog has become man's best friend, while the rest of nature has been at odds with him.

As legends go, it's a cute one. We never truly will understand why God chose the dog to be so close to man, but the bond is one that no other two species enjoy. Do they need us, or do we need them. Who knows, but it is a bond that has lasted thousands of years, and I guess that when Christ returns there will be many who will ask our Lord if their friend can tag along.

>That dogs are better than most people

When you can put out a bucket of food and water like you can with cats and get away for a few days then dogs will have moved closer to the intelligence of cats and most people.

Dogs are like perpetual infants that need their diapers changed and fed by hand daily.

What did that bitch see? What information is she passing? Is that a Siberian Husky? Russians! Russians!!!

With all due respect, it wasn’t dogs that early humans befriended in the manner the piece describes. It was wolves. The closest living relative of the dog is the gray wolf. The dog was the first domesticated species, and that occurred long before humans invented agriculture.

Lighten up Francis. You think we’re all morons?

I’m more of a curmudgeon with a sense of humor and a contrary view of being too serious. Except when it comes to survival and dealing with people out to harm others. A neighbor you can trust and verify.

My first thought was, oh no, not another anti-fence piece of propaganda.

Then I realised, it really was about two dog-friends.

[Hyman Roth]

Yo dawg. Let me help you out of there. Let’s go drop a deuce on Hillary’s lawn.....

[Bullish]

I just see a couple of dogs being dogs, framed in a way that might make our human brains somehow impart something human on it.

“If we get another dog and it gets dark, we can start a band.”

For later.

“Now just stay out. I told you there’s no damn sled in here. Do you see even a tiny bit of snow?”

Best buds.

[heshtesh]

There’s a cop running around,any chance I can hide out in your yard?

[going hot]

I don’t see the shadow of the husky’s paws under the fence.

[Daffynition]
