I guess it partly comes down to whether you think the domestic dog, a result of human-canine co-existence for thousands of years, is like a wild animal (wolf) or has learned a few things about humans over the years.parlancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175843064324380048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179993983134824252.post-9240340023639141372007-09-14T00:35:00.000+10:002007-09-14T00:35:00.000+10:00I found your consideration of dominance in the dom...I found your consideration of dominance in the domestic dog interesting, especially the article by Ian Dunbar. Personally, I have never believed that the dog saw me as another dog – let alone a dominant one. I think dogs are a bit more intelligent than that. Penny probably does not care that another dog lies in her bed (neither have any of my dogs ever worried about it when visiting dogs slept on their beds). They also were never concerned when other dogs shared their food. Probably because dogs like them and Penny know there is always more to come!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
