Your Dog Doesn't Know It's a Pet. You Do

Your dog knows your smell, your schedule, and your emotional patterns. But it has no concept of being a pet. That category has one inventor. You. The concept of a pet is 12,000 years old. Before that it didn't exist anywhere on Earth. Not in any species. Not in any culture. What humans did — and why they needed to — reveals something about us that most people never stop to examine. #psychology #animalbehavior #humanbehavior #sciencefacts #didyouknow
