Dogs and Humans


Ella got a bath today, which she absolutely hates (as is obvious in the second picture). But while looking back through the photos, I was reminded of a documentary I watched a few years ago- Dogs Decoded. Have you seen it? It's an interesting look at how dogs became domesticated and the similarities and differences between dogs and wolves. One thing I found especially intriguing was that even when raised by humans the wolves began behaving very differently from dogs at a young age (when they were just 8 weeks old!). The wolf pups were less interested in interacting with humans and were much more aggressive. Biology is fascinating!
