      It’s a mainly with predators that we have an easier time toilet training them. Evolution has killed off those that shat in their own caves because of diseases and bringing food back to a contaminated den will in turn contaminate the food. Whereas horses and most other herbivores live out in the open, move around more and travel long distances to graze.

      Yeah there’s a reason “cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war” is a Shakespeare line (from Caesar)

      I remember a horse that would play with one of those big inflatable exercise balls. Still wouldn’t fetch though.

    I could be wrong about this but I’m fairly sure dogs have been with man for A LOT longer. Like 40,000 years ago, and I think, just from a quick Google, horses are like 4000 years…

    Horses are more like our bedridden English children.

    Jazira: What does this mean?

    Frank T. Hopkins: Shunka Wakan? Big dog. There’s no word in Sioux for horse. When the Indians saw the first one the Spanish brought over, they didn’t know what the hell it was. When they saw how it could run, carry a man through battle, become his friend for life, well, they figured it had to be a sacred animal.

    Jazira: Indeed.

    One side of the war loves them, but I’m sure the other side doesn’t have nearly as high of an opinion.
