A Dog-Eat-Dog World

Maybe they are not as dumb as I thought they were (any creature that would be man's best friend has to be an idiot).

"Dogs have sense of fairness, study finds

WASHINGTON - .... If one dog gets no reward, and then sees another get sausage for doing the same trick, just try to get the first one to do it again. Indeed, the dog may even turn away and refuse to look at you. Dogs, like people and monkeys, seem to have a sense of fairness....

Yeah, except the dogs and the monkeys are fairer than humans?

They don't kill each other for profit, do they?

The dogs were asked to shake hands and each could see what reward the other received. When one dog got a reward and the other didn't, the unrewarded animal stopped playing. When both got a reward all was well.

Seems like an OBJECT LESSON for society!! You HEAR THAT, Israel?
