The Most Highly Evolved Species I Have Yet Encountered


There's these things, "dogs", here and they go, "woof, woof" and that's all, but they rule the world. It must have been like this:

Thousands of years ago they domesticated another species by convincing them to do all the crappiest jobs there are. That species is the Earthlings. The ones you sent me here to study.

They did it through ego. The Earthlings are very smart in the "figuring out how to make things" kind of way. But wicked stuck-up. So dogs went like, "Caves? Really? Okay. Hey, good enough for bears and Neanderthals, right?"

That was all these Earthlings needed. Bam! Huts.

Dogs: "Meh."

Bam! Ziggurats.

And so it went. On up to White Houses.

Dogs no longer have to hunt, build shelter, or evolve thumbs. At one point, Earthlings even had dog-headed gods. Not sure what happened with that.

Dogs don't even have to pay for their own healthcare. It's pretty amazing! Food? Served to them. Housing? Built for them. Clothes? Who needs it? Naked as jay birds!

And cows. I think cows came to the party too late. Cows are slow, pretty defenseless and got plenty of meat. Pretty sucky life in a world of predators. So they cut a deal with the dogs. Now, they have fences around them. And easy eating. And, when they die, they don't have to do it with a lion chomping at their throat. And the rest of the pack starting dinner early. Death goes, Bam! Quick and easy. But the deal they cut with the dogs is, afterwords, the dogs get a share. More easy meat for the dogs.

I'll draw a person and send it next time. I don't feel like it now.
