The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for August 26, 2022

Dogs evolved faster than cavemen.

When I was on Dong Tam in 1969, one of the guys had a dog he named “Brown Dog” (because the base commander wouldn’t let him put “Sh-t For Brains” on the base records). Brown Dog loved to run, he would rather run than ride in the jeep. You’d lose him in the straightaways, but he’d catch up when you turned (he’d cut the turn short). One day he was running from another dog and ended up in a cul de sac, Brown Dog turned around snarling and the other dog turned tail and ran.

And that’s why dogs like to stick their heads out of car, windows!

What the dog was really thinking: Something better than a hydrant to lift my leg to.

Dragging that frisbee back is going to be chore. Easier to drag the bearded dude to where it landed. Tastier and easier on the teeth as well.

Happy trails dog stroller.

his tongue should be hanging out (as if there were a window)

He’s on a roll. :)

so dogs domesticated us just for the free rides?
