The domestication of dogs led to the coevolution of the species together with humans. It's interesting to see that females had almost double the rate of dog ownership. Like we learned in class, it might have to do with one of the reasons for their domestication which was nursing children, but we also have to take socio-cultural factors into account as well. I also like how you said that most people approve of veterinarians and animal shelters. It really goes to show that we have something intrinsic in us to love our dogs (and cats). Also, Yogi is a cute dog!Andrew Chuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943337903343487958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-64829045257855000302019-07-03T08:05:31.851-04:002019-07-03T08:05:31.851-04:00When I saw the title of this post I immediately th...When I saw the title of this post I immediately thought of Dog People vs Cat People. It's really cool that there's a gene that is associated with dog ownership. It makes sense that humans and dogs have great relationships because they were domesticated so long ago and I feel like both evolved side by side. Similar to you, I grew up with many dogs (and cats), but I prefer cats over dogs(dont get me wrong, I love my dogs more than life) and I would own much more cats if I could haha. Most of my family members though would rather own dogs. It's really neat to think that the difference of me compared to my family members in the sense of owning a dog could be genetics!Abby Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900725372944172337noreply@blogger.com
