Just one more quick input

PS: did you know about the genetic outfit of dogs beeing able to a certain degree of "interspecies communication" espacially with humans? For example a 4 week old dog-puppy is able to figgure out the meaning of a human pointed finger to help find some food, a wolf never is. Even if inprinted, socialized on humans etc. 10 000 years of coexistence did do some selection that should not be underestimated.
