And we have got to remember that before about 1998, virtually no one had computers in the home, and so many concepts we have today such as what it means to be suburban, and all the drama that comes with it, just didn't exist. Instead of having our faces glued to the computer 18 hours a day, hand hovering over caps lock, throughout all human history we went outside and worked or played games sun-up to sundown. After it got dark, we played in the dark. The dog came along for most of that. 'What did humans deserve to get dogs' is a thought only applicable in today's sterile, plastic, digital society where very few of us earn our living directly from the earth anymore. Point being, the particular type of disgust that people feel for each other today in industrialized nations, to the point that dogs seem more moral than people, evolved in chat rooms and on forums, where we cannot see each others' body language. Before then, humans and dogs were on very equal footing.
