Animals Make Us Human by Temple Grandin
Animals Make Us Human by Temple Grandin is an educational book about animals such as dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, chickens and poultry, wild life, and zoos. Although I have to say my top three favorite sections were dogs, cats, and cows. My very favorite one to learn about was dogs because history of dogs and their behaviors are very interesting to me. Partly because I have two dogs at home and I want to learn more about the species. I loved learning about how much dogs are still related to wolves and how many similar behaviors they have to humans. Did you know that dogs are so tuned in with humans that a dog is more happy when you are happy. And wolves live the way most people do. Wolves in the wild do not live in wolf packs and they do not necessarily have an alpha male who would fight other wolves to maintainer and keep dominance. Instead they live in families with a mom, a dad, and children.and the most interesting part to me is that wolves can sometime take in/ adopt another wolf who is not in the pack and treat it like a child. Just like when a human adopts a child. And sometimes even a relative or grandma/ grandpa wolf can live with the wolf family. Personally I think that is shocking to know that a wolf can be so much like a human and that dogs come from wolves who live like that. And the dog breed that is most related to wolves is actually a Siberian husky. Siberian husky’s have 15/15 traits of a wolf. Yet are still considered a dog when actually they are basically a wolf. And lots of people want dogs because they are cute and cuddly but the truth is not everyone can have a dog. Let alone more than 1. This is because dogs need daily care and activity’s. Such as physical and mental training. This is called a dogs SEEKING system. It is very healthy to help activate this system in your dog and you could do this very easily by teaching your dogs new tricks and going on long walks. (at least one hour per day). And if you are gone a lot during the day such as at work or school consider getting another dog so your dog will not be lonely all day.
This is just some of the information I find most interesting on dogs and wolves and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
