Dogs are shameless con artists. My dogs know exactly what buttons to push.

I agree with you there but on the other hand my Rico is constantly looking for ways to please me.

It is something I have heard repeated many times through my life, I am not a scholar on gospel, a part time student at best.
I have listened to elders and wingnuts talk from many different “theologies” there are certain stories that hold a basic “truth”
The gift of the dog is one of them.

This was a quick search, but, should send you in the general direction.
(I’m not buying the greyhound part..)

“The authors of that study won’t acknowledge that, though (meaning God).”

Starting around the time of the “Enlightenment,” the IQ of scientists has decreased by an average of something like one or two points approximately every ten years.

A story told by some Native American peoples is that the Great Spirit decided to divide
the worlds of animals and man.
He gathered all the living beings on a great plain and drew a line in the dirt.
On one side of the line stood man and on the other side stood all of the animals of the earth.
When that line began to open up into a great canyon and at the last moment before
it became too great to cross, the dog jumped over and stood with man.

We Didn’t Domesticate Dogs. They Domesticated Us.

These people don’t understand or want to admit adaptation? It’s all evolution to atheists.

I just love my dogs - my goldendoodles want to be with me all day and follow me from room to room. When I go to the barn they sit on the porch and wait for me to come back.

My Pyrenees who live at the barn are attentive too. I have one that goes with me to the garden and helps me “pick beans” - mostly she just pulls them off and spits them on the ground, lol.

I love my cat too, but she pretty much comes and goes and hollers for her canned food

If a religion hates dogs, then you know something about the people who practice said religion.

Dog is man’s best & most loyal friend. Nothing else is even close.

More than half (17 out of 31) dog puppies consistently went to the right bowl while none out of the 26 human-reared wolf pups did better than a random guess.

A random guess between 2 options would produce an expected result of either 15 or 16 out of 31. So getting a result of 17 is not my definition of "consistent". But, then again, I am not a subsidized researcher.

Much the same way, a random guess between 2 options would mean about 13 of 26. So if the result was 12 or 14, that's more of a close but not perfect random.

My cocker spaniel, who died two years ago at age 17, went deaf at an early age and was very adept at reading hand signals.

I think many animal folks feel this way. :)

Maybe more so now than before.

Dogs have masters.
Cats have staff.
