Guest War Dog of the Week: Why are canines and human beings so fundamentally sympathetic to each other?

My wife read somewhere that dogs are a species
essentially created by man. Under this theory, dogs descend from wolves that
were friendly enough to come near the campfire when thrown a bone, but smart
enough to survive encounters with man. Over many thousand years, those
friendly/smart genes multiplied and created the dog. Just two predators hanging
out.

Above, two members of the 2nd ID hang out in
Buhriz, Iraq, in 2007.

And with that, I am going to stack arms and let
Rebecca take back her column. Here's a photo to think on that.
