other version of dog domestication. Dogs watch humans throw away leftovers. Dogs eat leftovers, saying to each other, we will follow them if they have no leftovers anymore we can always eat the men. Men say to each other, let them follow. They keep away the vermin from our leftovers, and if worst come to worst, we can eat the dogs.
Indeed ! And you know, the single time in years my dog had an accident inside I did not mind. She is worth every bit of it. In 6 years she is sleeping with me she had only about 3 accidents, and all from what I fed her LOL. Mea culpa ! Nothing warmer than a snoozing dog next to you on cold winter nights !
oh I did not know that story ! I vaguely remember one song of them. I love the idea though. I just saw a story in the news a couple of days ago, where a Russian girl got lost and was discovered sheltering with a stray dog, 18 hours in the icy cold. So even one big enough dog can do the job ! Thanks for this story !
The problem with huskies is that they are so well insulated they feel cold to the touch on the outside! I used to wake up next to mine (not in a -40 degree hole in Fairbanks, mind you...in a cool but not freezing attic bedroom) and poke her awake because I thought she was dead.
My pooh-bear only had accidents inside the house in his last couple years. I'd gotten doggie diapers for him but that didn't work. I also didn't mind cleaning up after him.
See the references below to almond roca dog treats and sandy candy. It is significant that it is the dogs eating the cat shit, not the other way round.
Once the dogs have had their fill, then the human cleans up what's left.
It should be abundantly clear which species is at the bottom of the pecking order, and which is at the top.

If you are picking up the poo of another creature, you are the one who has been domesticated.

The band Three Dog Night was named after the aboriginal Australian practice of sleeping with dogs in a hole in the ground in cold weather.
One dog for chilly, two dogs for cold, and three when it froze.
Yours is a long and noble tradition.

I never wondered what that name means, good to know in case....
I read that the three-dog night practice originated in Alaska.
In Fairbanks when the bottom drops out below -40 degrees, three dogs just won't cut it.
One husky on each side, one for the feet, and one on top.
Four Dog Night.

I guess it depends on the breed of husky. Siberians and wolf-mixes can be pretty toasty.
Mine is a beagle mix. VERY toasty. And lovely snoring too
It's cold tonight. Chuck another dog on the bed, eh...

Those arn't accidents. They're putting you in your place.
yes there is, three dogs on each side, two between legs and one on chest. Toasty
Or running to the door to let them in or out. I know, I'm there. :-) (Also applies to cats, got them too.)
Who cleans the litterbox? Asking for my dog... ЁЯдФ
It takes a village to properly serve cats.

Does cat poo magically turn into rainbows? ЁЯШБ
No, it tuns into delicious almond roca dog treats.
We call it Sandy Candy.

If theyтАЩre allowed outside, they bury their poop, never to be seen, smelled, or touched by human hands.
Yes...
