And a common theme I've noticed is that While a human is hunting, you and I could see a deer if it's against the wind. And we'll see it before your dog sees it. But if we don't see the deer and it's on the wind, a dog will either hear it or smell it first. So you can notice your dog perk up before you see something. And it's... We both complement each other's senses.

Like our sight is obviously much better as primates, but their scent and hearing is just exponentially better than ours. So with that in mind and just how social we are, I would imagine if they don't already understand pointing now, it's something that, you know, it's on the way there.

In the chemical sense, dogs can share. They release oxytocin, and we do as well when we pet them or when we interact. I can look at my dog right now and make that stupid sound. That's just your brain doing that because you... look at it like a baby or an infant. And that's that, you know, primate desire to care for that thing.

But in terms of like in history, the first dog burial that is like known is one in Germany at a place called bone over castle. And it's two humans and a dog buried together. And that would be not to say that's the first one, which is the first one we know of. But to me, it's like humans for a long time, aren't burying each other. until like roughly tens of thousands years ago, 100,000 years ago.

So when you start burying people, it's that idea of like, we're human, there's probably something after or whatever. And like, let's bury this person with culture and reverence. And like, that's a huge milestone in human history. When you're taking that idea and then passing it on to a non-human animal, that's like another step in human history. And the dog is the first one we do that with.

From a trailer park. Really? Yeah, I wanted a German Shepherd. I've always wanted a German Shepherd like that. I'd rather give it a good life, and I can, so I did. He is definitely... I've had a beagle and I've had a lab. He is like a domestic wolf more so than my other animals were. I used to think it was elitist when German shepherd people were like, you just don't understand the shepherd bond.
