In which case, you deserve it.

Wolves and dogs may have diverged, but they still share many similarities.

I thought wolves are pretty smart for animals

That's a possibility, but domestication has led dogs to see humans as their pack leaders.

t's interesting to think about how much humans have shaped the evolution of dogs over thousands of years. But we should also remember to treat them with kindness and care.

They don't. Not against proper pastor dog that are usually (much) larger than wolves and extremely territorial.
The spiked collars is used because dogs are in inferior numbers against even a small pack of wolves... but on the other hand any predator is easily dissuades to search for an easier prey when faced with even minor resistance.

To answer the headline... Oil smokes and burns when it's hot - why aren't our cars always billowing smoke?

Thought this was another extraction machine.

Very true, dogs don't have hands, but they do have paws!

The dogs still have the lower hand even with a spike collar because wolves are pretty badass I believe.

Reply to comment by tornpentacle in A broad-spectrum synthetic antibiotic that does not evoke bacterial resistance by geoxol
Alcohol is an antiseptic, not an antibiotic. Alcohol also does not kill all bacteria or fungi. Did you know certain bacteria actually can create an endospore in response to harsh environments like alcohol allowing them to survive sometimes up to 150 degrees Celsius and other seemingly unsurvivable environmental conditions.
Have you never used hand sanitizer and wondered why it says “kills 99.7%” of all germs?

I wasn't aware that wolves could have kittens.

Didn’t take long for my dog to figure out how door handles work. We rotated the handles 90 degrees so he couldn’t just lean on them. Took him a few days to figure out how to push them open with his nose. Now we have door knobs on most doors…

Dogs and wolves may have some instinctual behaviors, but their interactions are much more complex than just fear.

Reply to A review concluded that "with its sustainability as a plant as well as its distinctive useful property of the seed protein, hemp has promising value in the development of new foods." by OregonTripleBeam
I have always thought that if modern technology were used to make something nutritious out of various weeds, we'd all be better off. Giant thistles. Ragweed. Dandelions (yes, I know the French and others eat the greens, but they eat snails, too). Burdock. If there is a more useless plant in the world than burdock, I'd like to hear it. All that vegetable energy used to produce a burr that winds itself into any kind of fur so tightly that it's easier to cut or burn it out than to try to extract it. Take that perversion and use it to make a nutritious seed! Cockleburs, all the other "I'm going to lodge in your hair/fur and go for a ride" plants. Pigweed. I mean, pick one. All you guys going for a PhD in biology, find a weed and find a way to make it a food crop. You don't even have to change the plant, just find a way to process it into something edible or useful. PLEASE!

We are always tripping. What we perceive as reality is really a controlled persistent hallucination.
