Cool things about dogs...

My dog Gunnar recently celebrated his 3rd birthday on the 14th (valetine's day!) and I was just thinking about how cool dogs are. If you have never owned one, I feel sorry for you. You are missing out on a special relationship that you can never find in any other person, place or thing. So, here is a short list of some of the things that I think are cool about dogs. If you would like, comment and add it to the list!

1. Everyone who has owned a dog, had the priviledge of having the best dog in the world.

2. Dogs can pee and poop outside and no one, (mostly) really cares much.

3. Dogs don't care what you do for a living, what you are wearing or what you look like, as long as you are alive and you are with them you are a god in their eyes.

4. Dogs always forgive, unlike most humans.

5. Dogs think everyday is an adventure.

6. Histories are full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends. (Alexander Pope)

7. A dog never questions who he is or what he is all about. He just knows.

8. Every dog is decended from wolves... that is cool. It even helps make Chihuahuas cool in a very small way.

9. God spelled backwords is Dog.

10. Dogs can sleep anywhere.

I'm down with everything but the wolf hypothesis. I run with the theory that domestic dogs are actually descended from a now-extinct species of wild dogs from Asia minor. Domestic dogs have more in common both physically and behaviorly with wild dogs than wolves.

Wolf DNA may have come with the interbreeding of dogs with some European wolf species.

Actually it was recently proven through mtDNA studies by Robert K. Wayne at UCLA in the 1990's proved that EVERY dog is directly desended from wolves. I can give sources if you like!
