        @AndorianSoup @mcnees Earthrise, pale blue dot, happy dogs, first footprint, it's tricky to know which is the most fundamental human image.

        Except it's the dogs. I have a theory that wolves domesticated us just as much as we domesticated them, hence we behave more like pack animals than apes somtimes.

          Oh absolutely. Have you looked into the eyes of a hungry Labrador while you're trying to eat dinner? That is intense domestication of humans right there

            @AndorianSoup @mcnees I grew up, from a baby, with a lab/German shepherd cross (we think), it's possible that dog taught me more about interacting with humans than my parents did.

              Lol same. We had a Saluki/Retriever cross. That dog had more compassion than most humans (and ate everything in sight)

                I met Leland Melvin once and he's exactly as chill and nerdy as his picture suggests.

                      i think cats would freak out, but dogs would love it

                      however, "the morning walk" would not be any fun
