At my oldest daughter's crib in Baltimore, Father's Day Weekend 2011, with my grand-dog Miles (named after Miles Davis)
Dear friends,
The connection between both human and nonhuman animals goes back, at least, hundreds of
thousands of years/generations. In fact, especially people and their dogs is a
love affair that predates human civilization.
Of course, dogs other
results of the evolution of wolves. And that transformation from being wild
animals to a domesticated species has served people well. From companions to
protectors and/or workers, it is not very hard, in fact, think of how people
have used dogs. I mean, for example, how tough would it have been without dogs
pulling sleds for those who live up north in snowy regions? Imagine how
difficult it would’ve been for us to control large herds of animals like sheep (who
were actually the original animals that were used to build Capitalism). We humans owe a great deal to our canine
friends.
On the link below, is a brief story from the Boston Herald about some sick, lowlife, and
cowardly scoundrels who have been buying dogs that are being offered on Craigslist, solely for the purpose of brutalizing, mutilating, and murdering their
abandoned charges.
