A New Origin Story for Dogs:  The first domesticated animals may have been tamed twice. “Regardless of the exact date, it’s clear that over thousands of years, dogs have mated with each other, cross-bred with wolves, travelled over the world, and been deliberately bred by humans. The resulting ebb and flow of genes has turned their history into a muddy, turbid mess—the homogeneous soup that Larson envisages.” http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/06/the-origin-of-dogs/484976/

What a Dog Should Be/ I Believe:

I believe that one does not have to sacrifice lifespan for looks in a dog breed. I believe a dog should live as long as a child stays at home before going to college and that the child should grow up with the pup/dog during his whole childhood and that it should still be alive when he leaves for college. I believe one should be able to have a beautiful athletic healthy wolfy-looking dog/breed that contains and is capable of producing individuals that are capable of most any kind of work in addition to being a companion dog. I believe these dogs should be capable of living anywhere in the world that their human counterparts live. I believe there should be a large choice of coat and eye colors while still preserving the sleek natural primitive canine look. I believe that one should not have to compromise the health and longevity of a dog by spaying or neutering it and that lack of doing so should not cause any temperament hurdles. I believe such a breed and such dogs would have a lot to contribute to the dog world, the human/animal bond, and to other dog breeds as a genetic material source.
