Before somebody says that we don’t deserve dogs, please just don’t.
We do deserve them. We basically made them and they love us and we love them.
depends on the person. my neighbors, who never walk their dog, barely feed it, and just let it out in the back yard for 3 hours a day (hoarders backyard in the city where all it can do is stand in the 2x2 corner where it uses the bathroom and bark, asking them to play with it) do not deserve a dog. for any responsible owner though, I agree
Mostly rhetorically, and without an ability to adopt this dog myself, what would vigilante justice look like in this situation?
you can try to report it to a local animal cruelty prevention group however a lot of time what they can do is very limited
It doesn’t have to be vigilante justice. In a number of countries animal cruelty is illegal. The simple fact that the animal is malnourished would be enough to involve the police. But I don’t know what country any of you live in.
Dogs show us how good we can be
Do you know what a child’s face looks like after their family Golden rips it off?
Because I do.
So, yeah, your statement still works, I guess.
And how does this disprove the millennia of evidence in favour of dogs as a positive influence on people? I’m sorry about those kids. I really. Yet, I still think that my dog makes my life better in ways that I hadn’t even dreamed of before adopting her.
Id love to see a recreation of the dog. Its hard to get a sense of scale but the head looks quite big. Also:
Along with the dog, a small number of microchips were found which can be interpreted as grave gifts.
Microchips? Is that like chips of flint napping or were the ancient alien dudes on to something?
the original text has it as “mikrospån”, which should be translated as microblade, a 3-5cm flint blade used to make microliths.
Ah thanks, i kind of forgot Firefox translated it for me. That makes much mores sense.
Bro how else would anthropoligists know the dog had an owner. Duh
Aboriginal oral histories date back at least another 2000 years before this.
Well now I’m curious as to how they date oral histories
Stories about events we can identify in the archeological record, probably. Forest fires, major battles, geological events, things like that which can be used to line the stories up with specific real-world events
Those dudes survived a volcanic eruption that wiped out half of humanity. I guess they still remember it?
People are still talking about some flood that probably happened at some point in pre-history.
I strongly believe that it happened. It doesn’t need to be a “flood of biblical dimensions” but just one terrible enough to convince a few early tribes that it was the end of the world as we know it.
That’s mankind lore
I feel like the myth existing in cultures around the world from Mesopotamia to the Americas gives it credence. It makes sense that a “world-changing event” would work its way into various disparate cultures myths.
Or it’s because people all around the world always lived next to water and encountered floods.
First half really had me expecting you asking about blow jobs
I once dated someone with an extensive oral history.
Edit: still very cool & I’m sure they loved that dog like I do mine.
I’m getting real jurassic bark vibs here
Are we certain that the dog didn’t die so that it could be buried with someone?
We aren’t. I can’t find a source to the dog’s toys but Phys.org does say it was buried with a person.
LiveScience.org mentions the same question back in 2020
Of note, it’s unclear whether the dog died a natural death, or whether it was killed to be buried with its human. An analysis of its remains may reveal this mystery.
I couldn’t find an answer though. Most online sources of the discovery are from back in 2020, then it’s just memes.
Dude, the dog was 8400 years old! 🤡
Edit: wrote bullshit, but the link is still interesting.
History as an academic term usually goes hand in hand with writing, not civilization. When I write, I refer to earlier periods as “prehistoric.” This is because historians primarily use written text and similar as their subject of study.
Same as a child for many even into this day
My dogs are my family 100%. I’ll mourn them when they’re gone like I’d mourn any other family member. Except for that one cousin. Fuck that guy.
Yeah I do believe we all have one bad seed to deal with
A family?
