Question for the lounge, "Are Dogs Better People than People?"

[Stuart G]

Now I don't own one, and I never have. But most of them seem so happy just to be out with their human friend walking along.
Many of the humans look happy just to be with their dog friends. It seems that Dogs make people happier than many other people. I have also noticed, most Dogs, are pretty reliable with their friendship. They do not grow hot and cold on a whim...Is all of this true, or just some sort of false observation on my part????

1. You might find this interesting. It's about how wolves developed into dogs via

human trash.

Also, dogs and humans are the only critters who instinctively understand that pointing is gesture of help from the pointer to the pointee.

Dogs have been bred to adore us. And we adore being adored.

Also, foxes are canines, too. Here's an experiment on fox domestication.

They can also be bred to be more aggressive. Like pitbulls are.
