It's a classic meme to show a contrast between things, but we never see the other picture of the dog ancestor creeping up to the fire submissively with its tail down, begging the nice humans for a bit of meat from their food. Would I trust it as far as domesticated dogs, hell no. But they had their "cute" side at some point, otherwise we would have never formed a bond.

As someone who loves dogs more than humans, I see no difference.

Is that supposed to be a dog ancestor?

I guess it's supposed to be a werewolf technically. To ancient man though, a big hungry wolf would seem as much.

At least it has the courtesy of having an extra hole for you to get back at it with.

I like them both equally. I'm just concerned because one day dolphins will wisen up and figure out we are the root of all their problems.

They already noped off of dry land as soon as the monkeys showed up

The only other animal with a more messed up dichotomy is a hippo.
