Maybe not in plain English or not as complicated as we talk now but I am sure they will. I believe that someday dogs are going to talk to us.

I lost my best friend of 13 years recently (a dog) - he was always there for me - he supported me in my times of grief - he shared my times of joy - he taught me far more than i could teach him - and i believe this is why we have built such a strong bond with such an amazingly giving and loving animal. Dogs teach us what is truly important - and they teach us the humanity that we so often forget.

Protective, loving, and submissive to me----and she let the guinea pig take bathes in her water bowl and snack on her dog food. My labby now lets me do anything to him--- including take food away from him. He lets the cat munch on his food. Some people can't recognize, understand, or appreciate the bond between dogs and their owners. Ah well, their loss. Thank you for providing the anthropological perspective. Great read.
