Many dogs can understand almost every word humans say, while humans seldom learn to recognize more than half a dozen barks, if that. and barks are only a small part of the dog language. a wagging tail can mean so many things. humans know that it means a dog is pleased, but not what a dog is saying about his pleasedness.

Many Dogs Can Understand Almost Every Word

Dodie Smith
Many dogs can understand almost every word humans say, while humans seldom learn to recognize more than half a dozen barks, if that. and barks are only a small part of the dog language. a wagging tail can mean so many things. humans know that it means a dog is pleased, but not what a dog is saying about his pleasedness.

Dog Mean Tails

More From Dodie Smith

Our moral reasoning is plagued by two illusions. the first illusion can be called the wag-the-dog illusion: we believe that our own moral judgment (the dog) is driven by our own moral reasoning (the tail). the second illusion can be called the wag-theother-dog's-tail illusion: in a moral argument, we expect the successful rebuttal of an opponent's arguments to change the opponent's mind. such a belief is like thinking that forcing a dog's tail to wag by moving it with your hand will make the dog happy.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence
Light People Silence
Dogs are not like cats, who amusingly tolerate humans only until someone comes up with a tin opener that can be operated with a paw. men made dogs, they took wolves and gave them human things - unnecessary intelligence, names, a desire to belong, and a twitching inferiority complex. all dogs dream wolf dreams, and know they're dreaming of biting their maker. every dog knows, deep in his heart, that he is a bad dog.
Dream Dog Heart
If a dog is biting a black man, the black man should kill the dog, whether the dog is a police dog or a hound dog or any kind of dog. if a dog is fixed on a black man when that black man is doing nothing but trying to take advantage of what the government says is supposed to be his, then that black man should kill that dog or any two-legged dog who sets the dog on him.

And i, a materialist who does not believe in the starry heaven promised to a human being, for this dog and for every dog i believe in heaven, yes, i believe in a heaven that i will never enter, but he waits for me wagging his big fan of a tail so i, soon to arrive, will feel welcomed.
Dog Believe Afterlife
A native american elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: inside of me there are two dogs. one of the dogs is mean and evil. the other dog is good. the mean dog fights the good dog all the time. when asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, the one i feed the most.
