Blaze up! With regards to the adoption theory at 26:00 ish. That kind of interaction still goes on all the time between dogs and humans especially in Eastern Europe. You bring a dog home, if it has a good energy, it stays. If it has a bad energy you just drive out to the woods and leave it there. It’s not a totally wild theory.

The dog was buried with what is believed to be a food and water bowl. The entire remains of the dog and associated burial goods are actually still on display at a local museum. Not sure if you have come across this, but would love to hear your take on it.

I love this! How humans and dogs came together is such a fun thing to think about. Just a bit more on the Old Norse aspect: Fenrir is the brother of Hela and Jormungandr, and son of Loki and a giantess called "Angrboða" (The name being a compound of Old Norse "Anger" and "bode", "anger" being closer to meaning "sorrow" in this case). The gods immediately cast out Jormungandr and Hela, sensing their evil, but the playful wolf cub was permitted to live among them. As Fenrir grew, his playful nature diminished and a more dangerous aspect started to assert itself, so at great cost to themselves they chained him up and left him on an Island where he waits for Ragnarok. At Ragnarok his chain will break and he will devour Oðinn. Fenrir has two sons, Sköll ("one who mocks") and Hati ("one who hates"). At Ragnarok it is these two wolves who eat the sun and the moon. Apparently they chase the sun and the moon and occasionally catch them, which makes them darken until they escape from the wolf's jaws. There were two other wolves, Freki and Geri ("ravenous" and "greedy"). These are Oðinn's wolves. Oðinn doesn't eat at Valhalla, he only drinks - he gives his meat to these two wolves who sit at his feet. They are also supposed to help the Valkyries bring slain warriors to Valhalla. Old Norse myth also mentions a canine called "Garmr" who guards a place called Gnipa Cave. In Grímnismál he is called "hundr" (dog), but in Völuspá he is called "freki" (which seems to imply he is a wolf). Some think this dog is the "Hound of Hel" who barks at Oðinn in Baldrs Draumar. If Gnipa cave is the entrance to Hel that would make sense, maybe Garmr is the Old Norse Cerberus? Dogs also come up in the viking sagas. In Njal's Saga Gunnar has a dog called Sam given to him by his brother in law. It's a tirelessly alert Irish Wolfhound who protects Gunnar from his enemies and alerts him to danger long before it comes close. Gunnar's enemies used a neighbour familiar with the dog to lure him away and kill him, but he let out a great howl when he was killed that Gunnar heard. Gunnar then said: "Sárt ert þú leikinn Sámur fóstri og búið svo sé til ætlað að skammt skuli okkar í meðal." - ("You've been badly treated Sam my foster brother, but our deaths will not be far apart"). Canines were a major thing in Old Norse culture.

I've had many dogs, and I've always been so fascinated with the study of how they got here in this insane bond with us. I think it's a shame so many take them for granted or don't stop to think about how incredible they really are. And in their relationship to myths, I have a feeling there's many reasons dogs are so often associated with death that are all probable to convergently occur in the nature of our interactions with them. We want to see them again, they're inherently set to die long before us in most cases, they follow us into danger and risk death on our behalf in many situations; all of this likely equally contributes. I suppose it's something we may never truly quantify, but I think it shows how much veneration we've always had for them collectively. I wish certain cruel and indifferent people cared more about quality of life and welfare for their dogs, and that's why I find this subject to be important and understudied. It's also sad how little people respect the WORK of dogs that have actual jobs and Essential roles in human society. I have an ESA dog, and I know many people with dogs trained to assess and help with disabilities! They're work machines who love to help, and it's amazing how we got here with them. I love many animals, including cats and even some reptiles- but there's nothing like a dog. Dogs deserve our respect and compassion, and I will likely always have at least one so long as I can care for it. I've had so many that I can only hope that in any afterlife I can see them all again, but I might be greeted by an army lol I'm going to watch everything on your channel I have a feeling

A while back, I read about some Czech Republic and French archeology of a wolf-dog burial and fossilized footprints in a cave. The Czech burial site was forty thousand years old and contained a large canine buried with a bone in its mouth and some other objects. Somebody forty thousand years ago loved him. In France, the cave floor revealed two sets of footprints, those of a small child and, side by side with hers, the prints of a large canine. The dog was a sentinel for his little charge. That site was over thirty thousand years old. These sites suggest that the human-dog relationship is at least forty thousand years old and likely older. Liked the video.

Dogs are the best creature on earth indeed, and our greatest creation ! 🥰 But I wouldn't say they're like machines, we train dogs more like children, they don't do 100% what we want and we have to learn to understand them and train them like the living creatures with their own emotions that they are (I.e positive reinforcement works best). Actually for many service dogs we rely on the fact that dogs don't always obey us and can think for themselves : among certain types of herding breeds that can work far away from their humans and take decisions by themselves like border collies, with seeing-eye dogs (they learn to not cross a street if they see it's dangerous even if their human tell them to do it), in the army most probably, and a few others I can't remember.

As far as the domestication of cats goes, I think the rag-doll breed is the most domesticated. There’s also the Lykoi or werewolf cat, and the Egyptians deeply revered cats and deemed them important enough to be mummified. There’s even a battle where the invading army threw down cats in front of the Egyptian chariots to prevent them from advancing, and it worked. While dogs were also highly coveted I don’t know if they were also mummified. Regardless still prefer my mutt blitzen

I think American Military Working Dogs are great. They save lives and can provide nonjudgmental companionship. The amount of lives they have saved doing bomb detection alone is huge. It can be difficult to process that ultimately they’re considered by the military to be equipment that can be sacrificed in stead of a human. That being said great pains are taken to protect them and treat them when wounded. It’s not done lightly and the loss of these animals is often as traumatic as the loss of a human teammate. When the US left Vietnam all the working dogs were abandoned in country. Throughout the 60s until the last maybe 20 years dogs were unable to retire or be adopted out of the military. Now if it’s possible for them to retire and live outside the military as an average K9 often reunited with their handlers if they can be deemed safe for civilian life.

I know that wasn't the main subject of the presentation but I'd like to say that yes cats are definitely domesticated despite what everyone likes to say. We think they're not because we're a social species so their behavior are odd to us. And cats have been domesticated for a way shorter time than dogs, so they're still in the process of domestication. We also didn't have to change their behavior all that much. They were already doing what we wanted them to do, while dogs have been "custom made" for many different tasks. We did change the cats appearance, even if not by much, because humans have a thing for aesthetics. But I think the changes in coat colors and textures; and sizes of cats might have started to come about the same way it happened with dogs and the fox experiment: their looks changed when they became tamer. Even if you think your cat is "an asshole" a loner, selfish, doesn't like you, the king of the house etc. your cat is still definitely tamer and more social than a Silvestris africanus. As detached as they seem to us social animal, cats like our presence, company and affection in ways a wild feline would never. And many even search for it and go cuddle us, not all but I'd say most.

All your connection between death and dogs made me think about the difference in life span. Provided nothing terrible happened most humans would outlive dogs no matter how much pressure was surrounding them. They would be the only animal other than humans that would spark loss or mourning.
