(Our Neighborhood) Dogs of War

Scientists find no genetic difference between dog breeds. If one
studied the gene sequencing of a British Curly-Coat Retriever with
that of a Chinese Chow-Chow there is interestingly no striking
dissimilarities. They are all classified as Canis Lupus, or wolf, at
the core.
The dog packs in the most remote reaches of wilderness like the
jungle of Central America need very little "bark" to communicate.
A softly spoken, but high-pitched, "whistle" breaks the silence of
the rainforest as these dogs hunt in packs. There is very little
competing noise when one removes man's presence from the landscape.
Because of this, these dogs aren't exhausting themselves just to be
heard by others. They communicate only what is necessary to get the
desired result. Canis Lupus has been domesticated now, but to keep
his bark from becoming a constant annoyance in your home and yard,
make sure he doesnt feel the need to "compete" for just basic
attention from you and your family.
