One day, the wolf went to visit the dog. Like any gracious guest, the dog showed the wolf around its hacienda. The dog bragged to the wolf about his “soft” life. He told the wolf that he had free food, a place to sleep, regular shampoo baths and sometimes got to play with human beings.
The wolf was amazed at the good life the dog was living. But he observed that there was something on the neck of the dog. And he asked him what it was for. When the wolf heard the answer, he ran back to the wilderness as fast as he could.
Apparently, Wolves were domesticated when they started trailing hunters and gatherers to snack on their meat leftovers. As legend goes, the docile wolfs were given some extra food by Man.
Of course, this meant that they survived and “passed on” their genes. Eventually these wolves learnt to “live” with human beings in order to survive. And their descendants became dogs.
We are all born innocent and wild. But by the time we are adults, our innocent and wild nature is extinct. We become domestic animals. And pass these “genes” to our children.
The domestication process starts as the child is socialized at home and church, then as he goes through the education system and is completed at the workplace.
Apparently, to tame a dog, you do not need to beat it or shout at it. You only need to give it food and put your hands on the plate as it eats.
The dog will not bite you.
You know why?
A dog will not bite the hand that feeds it.
Life is life
