We domesticated dogs first, because they were the only animal that could kind of keep up.

To this day dogs behave more like toddlers and cats more like roommates. Or bratty teenagers complete with, "You're not my real dad!" depending on your cat.

Apparently dogs more-or-less domesticated themselves as scavengers around human settlements and were initially used for transportation (sledding in ancient Siberia), vs hunting - here's a pretty decent podcast: https://shows.acast.com/the-ancients/episodes/the-first-dogs

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
