Dog rescues another dog

[hepcat]

Animals are innocent, people are not.

That's why it's sad.

To put it another way...

Take a puppy into your home, feed it, teach it, nurture it, treat it with love and kindness, keep it away from harm, and by age thirteen it will be your loving and loyal companion.

Bring a baby into your home, feed it, teach it, nurture it, treat it with love and kindness, keep it away from harm, and by age thirteen it will be eating you out of house and home, disobeying you at every turn, sneaking out to get into trouble, and telling you that you're stupid :sosp:

Not all puppies. Dogs can be bred to be dangerous.

So can teenagers.

Yes, generational changes will happen... they will develop genetics more adapted to the wild environment... but this transformation to feral pig of an individual as you speak of it won't happen...

incorrect

a pig that was once domesticated that finds itself in the wild will naturally change the shape of its skull (crazy, but true) so that it can dig the ground as a wild boar would

[Captroop]

This might just be my natural cynicism acting up, but does anyone else get the feeling that the one dog was dragging the other dog away to eat it?

In my experience, one animal dragging a wounded animal usually means the animal was trying to drag its prey back to a place where it could eat safely and without other predators stealing its food.

lol

You are incorrect...

A domesticated pig will not somehow change its bones in the wild... especially their skulls...

If it survives long enough, it will gain more muscle tone and different behaviors... That's about it...

You're talking things that WILL happen after subsequent generations of being in the wild (IE. offspring adaptations), but saying that a pig will magically shapeshift its bones and grow hair and teeth it never had before is a little misinformed...

parody.

I know dogs get into some crazy business when it comes to dead/wounded animals because after all, they are scavengers. But I don't know how often dogs resort to cannibalism...unless it was starving? They didn't say whether the dogs were strays or not in the video but they probably were.

[mmmbeans]

dogs eat dog poop, they'd probably eat another dog.

[Matt Foley]

Must have been one hungry dog...dodging traffic to get to its food.

[TheRealDeal]

dogs eat dog poop, they'd probably eat another dog.

They do that because they have deficiencies in their diet. Once they get on a proper diet they don't.

[mmmbeans]

presumably a cannibalistic dog has deficiencies in its diet.

then discovery channel is incorrect as well... the bone structure of their face will change to give a flatter surface, like a wild boar, so that they can dig through the dirt instead of the normal pig face we're used to seeing that domesticated pigs have because they're fed from troughs

and apparently i'm not the only one that's seen this on DC, but the guy sounds like he might have been as high as i was when he saw it: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1460023
