the nature of the domestic dog. And that's OK. I don't mind being made fun of. I know the facts, so I don't worry about it. As mammals, we and our dogs and other pet animals are closely related. We have all the same basic body parts and organization. We have pretty much the same number of bones, even. We reproduce in the same basic ways. We're all mammals, and there's little biological difference between mammals. That's one of the reasons that pets are so useful in a child's education. Even if their parents don't teach them about the biological relationships, they'll get it in school, as long as they're not in some bogus creationist school setting.

What I wrote in that post is the truth. Making fun of the truth is a sign of something, but I'm not sure of what. I do know what mocking people is a sign of, though.
