It's like when God got through making all the animals he had a few spare parts left over and that's how we wound up with the hyena and duck-billed platypus.

And to anyone who comes into this thread with their "yeah but my cat is cool and awesome" bullshit. gently caress YOU. You know why you think your cat is so awesome? Because he acts like a goddamn dog. So you can take your chances with a cat and hope you get the one-in-a-million super chill cat - OR - you can get literally ANY loving DOG ON THE PLANET.

actually hyenas are dogs here is proof:

I don't think any other 2 creatures have such a bond on the whole Earth ( whole Solar System even !) Good job to the Neolithic hunters with a soft heart for little wolf pups.

big dogs are less likely to die of a 99% genetic predisposition to Coal Spleen or whatever bad condition

dude that's not true like 60% of golden retrievers die from osteosarcoma

Small dogs that are not horrifically overbred are way less likely to die in their early years

I mean my mum has currently got a 17 year old shih tzu who totally owns, and that's like 2.5 Great Dane lifespans
