[[This a correct statement, however, humans simply are not equipped to exclude the possibility.

Do dogs dream of their masters?]]

Perhaps- and most likely yes, but what drives their dreams? selfish self preservation motivations? Folks call dogs slefless and obedient- but they are anything but- their drive to bond is self centered although it certainly gives the appearance of being selfless. Even stories of dogs rescuing hteir ‘masters’ is nothign more than a dog doing so for it’s alpha pack leader who controls self-centered motivations in other members for an equally self-centered, self-preservation motivation. A pack can hunt food better, and is generally better for the survival of individuals within that same group. This topic gets pretty involved, and the reasonings do indeed go in circles- but it’s fun to explore it some somethimes.

The strength of the wolf is the pack and the strength of the pack is the wolf. How does this differ from humanity and how does it run counter to Dawkin’s position?
