I actually have a carolina dog myself. I live in the south and she was found in the woods after a hunter had unfortunately killed her mother. she is without a doubt one of the most intelligent and interesting dogs i’ve ever interacted with. i barely even had to train her, she just knows what to do, somehow. and she has a ton of weird personality quirks that i’ve never seen another dog have, like loving fireworks, being gentle with small animals, and protecting both me and my cats constantly. a great companion and so so sweet. you can definitely still tell that she’s a wild dog though from her behavior which i think is really cool. i

[@claireandersen780]

I have one too! My friends say she’s the weirdest dog they’ve ever met. Does yours shy away from pets, but have a “safe area” where she loves to cuddle?

[@PeachNEPTR]

Fully agreed. My Carolina Dog is weirdly smart compared to any other dog I’ve known. She learns things very quickly, she is obsessed with being around me, despite an insane prey drive has been incredibly gentle with cats and small children. Walking with her at night is such an interesting experience, whenever we walk she’s always on edge, on constant lookout. But at night it’s interesting how we both pay attention to different things and rely on each other. We see differently, hear differently and she pays just as much attention to me as I do to her. The only thing that’s difficult is that she is keen to run off after anything, she always comes back, which I trust her to do given that she hates it when I so much as leave her in another room in the house, I just don’t want to trust her to not be hurt by rabid animals or find coyotes or potentially violent dogs, or even confused people. She’s so fast, so athletic, leaps through the air with ease. The only thing that’s a bad fit is that she HATES being in the car. So it’s unfortunately challenging to take her places. She loves to explore new areas but is incredibly anxious about getting there. I’m so thankful that I’ve had an opportunity to know her.

I know a Native man who actually had a wolf as a "pet" when he was growing up. His dad knew a man who lived in the woods and fed the wolves, so when he was mourning the death of his previous dog his dad brought him to that man's house. The young wolves ran up to investigate and one of them stayed when the rest left, having chosen him. The wolf came home with him and was fiercely loyal to him, and no one else (much to his dad's annoyance.) Occassionally he would go missing and the dad would send his son to the area they knew thw wolf pack lived to call him back home, because he didnt listen if the dad went. He was an incredibly smart and loyal dog, eventually learning what bus stop he would return from school at and waiting for him every day around the time the bus came, which everyone else was uncomfortable with, lol. He also refused to stay inside at night to sleep. And when a neighbour called to complain about the wolf howling at the moon at night, the dad was like "well what do you want ME to do about it?? It's a wolf, it's going to howl."

[@eliasvonbrille]

That's pretty funny and cool. It's a huge flex to have a real Wolf as your "Dog" similar to having a Tiger or Crocodile as pet (which shockingly many people do. Seriously the Pet tiger population almost rivals the wild one 😂). It's also much more dangerous than having a Dog since Dogs are specifically bred to be pets. Wolfs can be pretty aggressive and potentially deadly as a Pet so if you have one you better make sure you treat them double well. Misraising a wild Animal as a pet can be a death sentence and it's always risky.

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

My sister had a majority wolf dog she rescued as a puppy from a very abusive owner. The wolf’s name was Taker. If he liked someone he’d steal an object from them and add it to his little hoard. He stole my gloves; I was so honored. He would also come up to lay on the bed with me when I napped, which really surprised my sister. He was very gentle, though he did kill her chickens if given the chance. From what I’ve read and studied about wolves, they are only aggressive with owners who don’t know how to treat them or who are abusive. Wild or otherwise, wolf attacks are very rare, so rare that figuring the likelihood is impossible. You are far more likely to be killed by your pet dog.

[@Alex-fc8xn]

@@sharonkaczorowski8690 yeah, this friend's dad was on the abusive side in some ways. Including putting down his dogs (with a gun) without talking to him first. If I remember correctly it was because they were getting old? Because the friend said he had told his dad that he would do the same when he got to be elderly. I mean obviously he didn't kill his dad, but he was absolutely heartbroken and betrayed about it because he is the kind of person to see his pets as being as much a part of the family as his husband. They're like his children now, and he didn't feel much different about it when he was young, either. But there's a lot of intergenerational trauma that people in oppressed racial groups go through, especially Native people in Canada. The last day school (residential school) closed in the 90s, and those tended to be incredibly abusive. So while I do not agree with what his dad did, I can understand that it was related to his own traumas that made him calloused. And I'm very proud of my friend for not continuing that cycle and remaining a kind-hearted person who makes everyone, including animals, feel safe around him. I myself am white and have had to put a lot of effort into working on my own intergenerational trauma to avoid hurting others the same way I was hurt, so I understand that it is NOT an easy thing to do.

[@somethingwithbungalows]

Jim Stouffer they also shake. So it quickly subsides the ache within any body part you’re having trouble with quicker when applied. Just some knowledge I learned from medic school. We had a segment on chihuahuas. Surprisingly, they’re still used today! In ancient times, they were commonly issued as a remedy for ache, heartache, and heartbreak. And to my knowledge, the Indians would use them as signals, holding them up to the sky on a cold night starry night. The chihuahua would then initiate its ever so famous, “bark” sequence and howl into the night. That’s one of the many ways the Indians communicated with each other! They’re also great for extracting poison. Their snappy bite retracts the poison from any wound it was previously injected in.

And ever since ive been invested in studying mycology as a hobby. Im now in the first year of my biology bachelor at university. Thank you TREY, u helped me find my passion with a video I originally thought sounded boring. Thank you, for changing my life for the better.

A little piece of information to add to this phenomenon is that dogs have a normal body temperature of 106°F. small dogs push that temperature a little higher than big dogs but that said because of the fact that the body temperature of dogs is higher than the body temperature of humans it makes them wonderful sleeping companions in cold and damp areas. Plus the love and body contact of a dog is emotionally and in an unproven way physically healing. The psychological security that an emotionally sensitive animal provides is invaluable.

My Chihuahua Mr.Boss has served me as a very good mouse-hunting/bird-hunting dog (birds for food ofcourse) and yes, a great hot-water-bottle, -he's small but also very smart and sturdy, he used to help pull me through the snow when we would go out in the woods for hours, and up hills, he never got tired but i retired him from that because he was getting older and i am also bigger now. He's also very gentle if i tell him not to chase something and tell him to love it (for example, there was a baby gopher we took in, and even though we usually eat them and hunt them, he was gentle and didn't go into attack-mode, treating her with curiosity, more than a thing to hunt) -same with a little club-foot mouse i found hobbling along in our backyard, Mr.Boss was gentle to it whenever i took it outside with us on our adventures. (not that i would trust any dog like that, but Boss is super smart because i talk to him alot and spend alot of time teaching him context and right from wrong, and to be careful). My ancestors loved them (although i think they are a more recent dog to have where i am from? -i think the english explorers brought them) and they had been used as guard dogs for a long long time, against bears and other wild animals. They're protective, fast, and loud, so it's useful. Mr.Boss is a very good well-behaved one, he isn't mean in the slightest, and he knows when to shut up (unless he thinks we are being stupid and brushing his worries off) and i know for a fact all who have brat chihuahuas are just bad at raising them, like how someone might be bad parents who let their kids get away with anything because "oh my baby" and "oh they're cute i can't say no or be mad". They are good smart dogs and i am glad that they are not one of the ones that disappeared during history.

[@xCCflierx]

Many owners don't bother to train them. Large dogs are dangerous and break things and hurt people and are very loud. If you don't train them someone gets hurt. Smaller dogs like Chihuahua, they bark a little but you can put up with it. If they bite it doesn't hurt too much. They can't knock you over either. So most people don't bother to train simple things like that. Maybe won't even train them at all

[@anapaomv7620]

hey there! just a little correction: the dogs that were used as water bottles by the aztecs were actualy the Xolos (the hairless dogs) because due to their lack of hair their body temperature is always high to keep them warm, so honestly they're the best breed of dog to hug if youre having cramps of muscular pain haha. they were considered sacred and closely related to the god of death and they were supposed to gide their owners safetly to the Mictlán (aztec's underworld) when they died. Thats why Xolos were very valuable (still are) and very symbolic to aztec culture (actually the pots that youre showing are supposed to represent Xolos).

Something to keep in mind is that these genetic studies can often have issues that get corrected over time as new information is better understood. Many high blood quantum native Americans were told they had ancestry from all over and very little Native American markers not that long ago with the human genetic testing. Each year, more info is added and more new markers are recognized, and the higher blood quantum’s are now starting to be recognized for what they are.

They are much bigger than chihuahuas. About the size of a cocker spaniel. They are also called the mexican hairless dogs. Dogs body temp is around 102 degrees F. Four degrees higher than humans and with no hair that heat transfers directly to the skin of the person they are helping. My mom had one and she would sleep with it around her neck to relieve pain so she could get a good nights sleep. When she got the dog the docs said it was most likely her last year. She got the dog and lived another 12 years until the dog passed away. They are not pretty dogs but they are loyal and very warm.

Do these dogs cost a lot?

[@smert_ditto]

@@signaturerush In Mexico they're relatively common and cheap, but I'm not sure about the cost in other countries

[@legorocketraccoon8297]

@@signaturerush A purebred one might but I almost got one once from a rescue shelter. They're no more expensive than any other breed there and while you can't guarantee they're 100% purebred I'd much rather my money go somewhere like that.

I knew some cholos growing up

[@patrickshaw8595]

In a very heavy duty scientific paper from about four years ago they stated the aside from Eurasian Dogs that it seemed Chihuahuas and Xolos represented two separate split split offs from from wolves. I don't know how accurate or true that was but it certainly seemed real technical and scholarly.

The Salish Wool Dog shown at 5:32 and subsequently after is actually a Turnspit Dog named Whiskey. Turnspits were a breed used in the Old World to evenly cook meat by running on a wheel rigged up to a spit. This particular Turnspit seemed to be well-loved as her taxidermied body was buried with flowers and other items.

[@Snakesnarl]

I’m Mvskoke and there are stories passed down about how when De Soto landed and met with our people, he and his people overstayed their welcome and when we couldn’t spare anymore food, they burned our villages and ‘killed all our dogs and burned them in a huge pile’. Hearing those stories as a kid gave me a pretty strong distaste for “explorers” like Columbus and de Soto. They weren’t explorers, they were murderers.

[@melz4766]

YES!!! Every time I hear people saying Columbus,Lewis and clark, etc. we’re respectable explores of the old world puts such a terrible taste in my mouth since to this day. And people ARE STILL being misinformed about what they actually did!!! As a person with deep roots in Mexico their deeds will never be manipulated or forgotten 😠

[@melz4766]

@A G this was literally back 1400’s ??? why did people from Spain have the right to kill and mercilessly ruin an ancient civilization with invasive animals and diseases just for the sake of it? So your telling me letting a civilization of their nature should have been completely destroyed and ruined simply because a bunch of Spaniard’s accidentally came across them, I’m simply saying NOBODY should celebrate such a bigoted “holiday” without knowing the true significance behind it.

[@squidwardshouse830]

If they really called themselves explorers, then they should have explored outside the village for food and shelter like actual explorers.

[@Aditi77828]

I agree.

@@melz4766 idk, I’m a Hispanic from the new world, and without Spain I wouldn’t be here. Lol. I did a DNA test, and over 3/5ths of my DNA was Spanish so I’m not arguing anything. I see how 100% native Americans can be upset about it though.
