Friends, Foes and Fashion Statements
This section talked about if animals such as dogs could help us when we're in trouble. Herzog talks about his dog, Lassie, and the thoughts he had about the dog. She would be the one to help when needed in certain situations. However now that he has grown and done research on his own he has found out that animals could harm us rather than rescue us. While reading this section it reminded me of my dogs. I don't agree entirely about what the author was saying. Personally I believe that dogs can rescue people and that they're capable of feeling something for their owner. Maybe they're not capable of feeling love but what exactly is it that they feel, if it's not love? I mean yes ok not every dog out there is a rescuer however some of them do rescue people.
This chapter talked about how hard it is to train certain dogs. I can relate to this because my puppy that I had for may 7 months was never trained. I tried but it didn't work out. However my other bigger dog was trained quickly for some reason we had him for about maybe 4 years. Even thought experiments were made regarding if dogs would save their owners and the results were completely the opposite of what I thought. I still believe that dogs feel some attraction to us at least my two dogs did. Dogs are capable of making someone feel better and maybe it's their extinct but it doesn't really matter to me I still love dogs and I like to believe that my dogs loved me back too.
- What Would Lassie Do?
