Read an article detailing archeological research on animal domestication and how it changed not only the animals but us. Article centered on dogs, first to be domesticated, cats, who domesticated themselves, a little, horses and how they dramatically altered travel, trade, communication, and warfare, and goats, who predated cattle, sheep, and pigs as livestock. The article hypothesized that domestication of dogs gave Homo sapiens survival advantage over Homo neanderthalis, who did not domesticate, as sapiens could better hunt and protect settlements with aid of dogs. @SlyPokerDog has history.
Protects homes, grain supplies and ships from rodents. Doesn't shit on neighbor's lawn. Scorns to be a servant.
Romans brought weasels and snakes into their homes to control rodents before realizing cats were a much better, cleaner and safer alternative.
And Cats can be trained to poop in a box. Weasels on the other hand??? Now dogs can be trained to poop in the neighbors yard.
We are advocating for Dogs in this thread. You know. The ones that will do what you tell them to do. The loyal ones. Can you imagine what would happen if we elected someone who wasn’t loyal and had 9 lives?
