Great saying and all so true. I just discussed them with our five dogs and four of them agree. The puppy was too busy stealing Zeus' breakfast to be concerned about the post.

So what. A percentage of the earths population eats other people to, and probably 35 percent of the population eats maggots, intentionally not just because they leave the lunchmeat out on the counter for a week before getting around to eating it.

Please tell me where ANY "percentage of the earths population eats other people" TODAY.
Not saying it never happened in the past but only in the rarest of cultures but, certainly not TODAY.
I'm talking around 2 BILLION people on earth CURRENTLY eat dog.

However.., I do find it rather amusing that you would compare eating dogs to eating maggots and old lunchmeat.

As I understand it there are still a few tribes of people on small Polynesian islands who eat people, don't know exactly where and as I remember there are less than 70 people in each tribe. As far as eating dog, just because Western cultures consider dogs as companions does not mean that those people in India and elsewhere don't eat them. There are several "Humane rescue groups" that buy street dogs, take them home and try to civilize and tame them so they can sell them to foolish Westerners who somehow think the animals will make great housepets. What they refuse to admit is that more dogs for food will be bred, and it will just be another cycle of dogs misused.According to several reports, Muslims k**l dogs but don't
eat them. Mohamed h**ed dogs and apparently that has become part of the Muslim believe system to torture and k**l dogs. Personally I prefer eating animals that eat grass, not animals that eat other animals, but that is just my preference.

Those are great. Reminds me of this which I've posted before -

God Summoned A Beast

God summoned the beast from the field and He said
"Behold, man is created in my image. Therefore adore him.
You shall protect him in the wilderness,
shepherd his flocks, watch over his children,
accompany him wherever he may go...
even into civilization.
You shall be his companion, his ally, his s***e."

"To do these things," God said, "I endow you with the
instincts uncommon to other beasts:
Faithfulness, Devotion and Understanding
surpassing those of man himself.
Lest it impair your courage,
you shall never foresee your death.
Lest it impair your loyalty,
you shall be blind to the faults of man.
Lest it impair your understanding,
you are denied the power of words.
Speak to your master only with your mind
and through your honest eyes."

"Walk by his side; sleep in his doorway;
ward off his enemies; carry his burden;
share his afflictions; love and comfort him.
And in return for this,
Man will fulfill your needs and wants...
which shall be only food, shelter and affection."

"So be silent and be a friend to man.
Guide him through the perils along the way
to this land I have promised him.
This shall be your destiny and your immortality."

So spoke the Lord.
And the dog heard, and was content.
