The 12th Commandment Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Neat article! I know we have a lot of dog lovers here. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1921614,00.html I found this paragraph funny. I'm sure my dogs wouldn't mind one bit if I yacked up a little of my lunch for them. :hysterical: "Take for instance the kiss a dog gives you when you come home. It looks like love, but it could also be hunger. Wolves also lick one another's mouths, particularly when one wolf returns to the pack. They can use their sense of taste and smell to see if the returnee has caught some prey on its journey. If it did, the licking often prompts it to vomit up some of that kill for the other members of the pack to share. The kiss dogs give us probably evolved from this inspection. "If we happened to spit up whatever we just ate," says Horowitz, "I don't think our dogs would be upset at all."" -continued at link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the rules was "Lick the children's faces. There might be food on them." Also remembering two cartoons: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12th Commandment Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Interesting read. I like the bit about the russian experiments with foxes. There's a documentary I saw on that experiment and it was very interesting. Look for it to be replayed sometime on one of the docu channels (they always repeat stuff).
