Dogs and cats.. Probably the top losers of their respective groups... If I'm not wrong it's said that dogs are descendants of wolves. Compare a dog to a wolf and the difference is big or compare cats to the "big cats" like lions and tigers and such.. A wolf can probably kill a dozen doggies and a lion can probably kill all the cats in the world if it wanted.
Yet, where is majestic lions and wolves? They'll go extinct.. Dogs and cats will outlast them by a long shot precisely because they can be domesticated and they are capable of living in our industrialized environment. We praise these qualities now yet many years ago they must've been the biggest losers in the animal kingdom eating the leftovers of the "top dogs". But fate took a u turn, it decided to screw the strong and favor the weak. Survival of the fittest? 😏 time managed to change their weakness into a strength.
Just goes to show even if someone's having a hard time right now and feels like the world's biggest loser with time those weaknesses will turn into strengths. So everybody has a chance.
I just found it pretty amazing. Then I payed the bill and went home.
Dogs and cats are lackeys of the biggest apex predator and have been taken under our benevolent wing.
