Dogs
True respect of the Dog
As forgivable as it may be, treating the dog like a little human is a biological error that may prove dangerous for the animal.
Respecting the dog for what it gives us and represents to us should not consist of developing an anthropomorphic approach aiming to make the dog, as we often hear, "a child, if only it could speak". Biology is such that it preferred the earthly diversity of living creatures, making each one of them the complement of the others so as to tend towards a delicate balance the Man may not alter in any way.
This anthropomorphic reflex, as forgivable as it may be, given the sometimes powerful emotions that we all feel towards our dogs, must therefore be shunned as being disrespectful of their biological and physiological functioning and, consequently, may prove to be dangerous to them.
