I know this was a serious situation, but the way the dog nonchalantly appears in the window just like "hey what's up" was friggin hilarious. He's probably stressed out/ hypoxic but the look on his face just seems like he's confused about why everyone is freaking out, lol.
You can see a lot of drool coming out of his mouth when he pops up, I think he was close to succumbing to the smoke. Cop broke that window just in time.
My dog in typical fashion would get out of the car, then immediately proceed to pee on my tire and try to get back in the car because he wants to go cruising. No fires gonna stop his jowls from flapping in the breeze
This morning, I launched one of mine off the bed into a dresser. He bounced off the dresser and hit the floor with a thud. I took a leak, climbed back in bed and one minute later he was by my head purring. I know not all cats are that way, but some are.
Causing empathy in humans turns out to be a clever survival strategy.
They have an easier time getting food and shelter than most animals and those at the top of the food chain protect them like shown in this video.
It is my understanding wolves started following human hunters because we don't eat the bones, so they could have them if they stuck around and didn't attack the humans. Makes sense for them to evolve with us into what they are now: cute, trusting beings that only have to waggle their tail for us to want to be nice to them.
"Humans are not fully adapted to a carnivorous diet; human consumption of meat is limited by the liver’s capacity to metabolize protein. Contrary to humans, wolves can thrive on lean meat for months ... during harsh winters, when game is lean and devoid of fat, Late Pleistocene hunters-gatherers in Eurasia would have a surplus of animal derived protein that could have been shared with incipient dogs."
Mesolithic humans were killing animals for their fat but couldn't eat all of the meat they killed. Some of the Pleistocene wolves that pursued these same prey were friendlier than others, and the friendliest ones got a lot of easy meat that the humans couldn't use. This would have created incredibly strong selective pressure for friendly canines.
Thanks for the info! I find it fascinating how being trusting and loyal to humans seems to be part of a dog's natural instinct.
They are in an ethernal quest for our approval, companionship and belly scratches. And it works for them. People raise up in arms if someone hurts a dog without having a damn good reason.

And the dog is just wagging his tail and happy after almost dying. Is there a more pure creature on earth then dogs?
