Dog Training and The Love Fallacy

Image
One of the chief reasons we have difficulty understanding dogs is, paradoxically, because.they've been associated with us for such a long time-so much so that we take them for granted. The first evidence of dog's association with man is found at the Mesolithic site of Star Carr in England about 9500 B.c when the dog's superior sense of smell probably directed man to within bowshot of food animals. Recently in the ruins of Pompeii the lava casts of the bodies of a little boy and his huge dog were found. On the dog's bronze collar was the still legible inscription: "This dog has saved his little master three times once from fire, once from drowning, and once from thieves." The dog had obviously tried to rescue his master once more. * Very few domestic animals were found in the archaeological excavations of Pompeii. Animals instinctively know of impending catastrophe, and obviously most of the dogs fled before the eruption occurred. The night before th...

Dog Lead His Owner To A Mysterios Box In The Mountains, Ended Up Becoming A Father

Image
Sadly, many strays roam the streets of Greece, never knowing what it’s like to have a home or a family to love them. There is also an abundance of abandoned litters of kittens. SCARS, a rescue organization, comes across them all the time. They’ve rescued more than 25 kittens within just one month. One of the SCARS volunteers has a rescue dog named Aragon. They would take Aragon for walks near the mountains, where many pets – kittens, puppies, bunnies, birds – were abandoned in cardboard boxes. Sadly, hungry foxes usually got to them before rescuers did. One day, when they were walking Aragon, he began pulling rescuers toward a box. This time, there were kittens still in it! Aragon was hailed a hero. They got to the kittens just in time, because soon enough, they would’ve been eaten by a fox or another animal, just like many of the other abandoned pets were. Meanwhile, Aragon the dog stepped into the role of their foster dad They took the kittens in and they we...

Korea Doesn't Want Olympic Visitors To See What It Does To Dogs

Image
They said they would keep it secret to avoid giving "a bad impression to foreigners." In the shadows of the star-studded Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, thousands of dogs across the country — some on farms just miles away from the stadiums — lie in cramped, dirty cages awaiting torture before they are slaughtered for food. But local authorities don’t want tourists to know about it. Ahead of the games, Pyeongchang County offered 2 million won (around $1,850) to any restaurant owner who would stop serving dog meat during the games. The intention, officials said, was to avoid upsetting tourists. Pyeongchang County government official Lee Yong-bae told AFP that signs advertising dog meat dishes have been switched out at restaurants near the stadium to avoid giving “a bad impression to foreigners.” A vendor selling dog meat at Gyeongdong Market in South Korea (image has been blurred) | Wikimedia Commons “We've faced a lot of complaints from r...
