Tennessee coon hound with some beagle. Daycare yesterday. I had to wake his ass up for our run this morning.

Yes, we had several as they grew older. This one totally is the poster child for the breed.

10. I know people who have rescued dog track greyhounds

They're all nice dogs and while they enjoy walkies, they're sofa spuds otherwise.

11. As are Great Danes.

I firmly believe dogs let cavemen take them in for not the food, but for the creature comforts. Like fires and fur blankets.

Edit: my dogs would eat mastodon poop. But fur blanket….ya baby.

16. Same with cats

although we didn't start living with them until we started to harvest and store grain and found a cat or ten would hunt the rodents that ate the grain. We made friends with the kittens, who decided they quite liked us.

They already know we were living with dogs during the Mesolithic, the excavation at Star Carr in the UK has turned up formal burials of dogs distantly related to modern sheep dogs. It's a short leap from following herds of animals to actively herding them, and what enabled us to make that leap was the help of dogs.
