Cats domesticated people.

I think dogs and cats were probably both domesticated because they had very practical uses. And also if times got real hard it’s much better for tribe morale if fido or puss goes into the communal stewpot rather than grandma or grandpa.

Sure. And then the slaves rebel.

Hence only dogs savagely maul people to death.

Seriously, each species needs to be respected...for what they can be. Horse people respect horses more than pet people respect dogs. Both can kill but only one gets that respect.

It’s OK, I have a dog, and she’s enough wildlife for me. :-)

I had a dog many years ago. Actually he belonged to my late father-in-law but after he passed away he became mine. A big black Lab named “Dewar’’. He was a good doggie. But he got sick and had to be put down. I miss him.
