@mcnees I've said this before, but my favorite thing about this photo is that the dogs have absolutely no idea what's going on. They're just so happy to be here, you guys!

@mcnees
I love this photo@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 -

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.
