    Woman and mans best friend? You just mixed biology with social studies. Humans (man-kind), derived from the aformentioned name. Since you had to include (or woman) im assuming you asked chatGPT to give you the most basic of data, and then vomited it onto a video. Way to discredit yourself. Words have meaning

    Hate to say it . Don't want to upset anyone. However I lived to see 7 dog's from birth to burial. And let me tell you A smart dog will outwit you any day of the week. A mediocre to dumb dog you will be in control of . GO WORK IT OUT.

    My silly thought on the origin of dogs & cats. Not meant to offend.

    Not in the Bible, but I sometimes feel that when God ejected Adam & Eve from Eden, God took Afam aside and sais something like: "I'm sad I have to do this & that Eve didn't work out as I had intended. Here's a puppy." Meanwhile, a small distance away, Lucifer was talikg to Eve & said: "Wow, God was really mean, but I'll try to make it up to you. Here's a kitten."

    Puppies grow up to be loyal companion dogs. Kittens grow up to be cats. 'Nuff said.

    A dog is an animal and does not possess the same reasoning skills as a human1. Dogs do have emotions, but their emotions are different than those of humans. They are simple creatures with instincts, and their emotions lack complex thought process. They feel joy when they know you are pleased, they feel sad when someone dies1. However, some people argue that dogs "seem to have emotions just like us" and that our four-legged friends should be entitled to "personhood"2.

    My dog when I lived in Bolivia might not be too smart, but he’d make me look like a dumbass with directions because he’d disappear for days and family would see him 2 hours away from home and he’d find his way back with no gps lol

    dogs are very social animals, so people who enjoy " extroverted " animals will prefer dogs. though, cats can also be social. people sterotype cats as independent and mean, although, i dont think they have owned a cat before. cats can be good and social pets too, and dogs can be independent. personally, i prefer cats, but dogs are alright

    My dog, Mary, is a LICKY dog. She licks me up my nose and in my mouth. I really shouldn’t let her, but, since it’s her favorite thing to do, I have no choice but to let her. 🤢 She is a puggle dog. A puggle is a mix of a pug and a beagle. She has cute, brown floppy ears, a short little nub for a tail, and a short muzzle. She’s 4 and is my BFF.

    I genuinely LOVE my dogs so much! They are now certified support animals and are allowed to visit children in hospitals which has become one of their favorite pastimes lol I enjoy sharing the joy my pups bring with others. Long Live the Canine ✌️

    If they can see blue and yellow.. they can see green 🤣 I have not found a single video on the intelligence of a dog that I actually fully agree with. This would be it if it wasn't for the colour blind mis information. I know they can't see all colours but if we are going on the basis of what you were saying.. they can see any product of blue, yeah, black, white and grey which includes several shades of green 🤣🤣🤣🤣 If a dog could not tell the difference of grey and green. They would be everywhere pissing… don't come at me with the texture of the grass because that doesn't have as much merit as you may think either 🤣
