you mixin up dependency with loyalty. all pets are dependent, but none are loyal like dogs. the moment a stranger come near you or your property they ready to protect you i seen situations where people was arguin or fightin and one of em dog come outta NOWHERE to defend they ass willin to die tryna save YOU in a fire or some shyt. somebody mentioned how dogs be reactin to soldiers comin home but i remember seein this shyt earlier this year
dog mournin the hell outta its owner that was murdered in the war, and you think that shyt is just about food??? they call em "man's best friend" for a reason
They told that dog to lay down and threw it a treat stop it..
