There was a very interesting PBS documentary recently on the
domestication of canines, and how wild species become increasing
different with each successive generation of domesticity in physiology,
physical characteristics (color, for one), and behaviour (eye contact,
pointing recognition, etc).

I watched those 2 shows (if we are talking about the same and I think
we are) with absolute fascination. Just awesome.

Moxie picked up a wad of tissue in the church parking lot and I didn't
want her to have it, so I tried to get her to give it up.
No way she would, so I forced her jaws apart and took it, but as I let
go, she lunged for my hand with a very vicious bark to go with it.
She didn't draw blood (glove) but that stung quite a bit...and I was
reminded of what my navy buddy once told me... inside every dog, is a
wolf... ultimately.
