Imagine if people were as different from each other as dogs are!

Colours would be way more varied than now, and very few of us would be just one colour.
There would be huge variety in the shapes of faces and bodies.
Some people would be three times the height of others, and the range of normal body weights would be off the charts.

Dogs mostly get along with each other!
Why do humans have such a hard time getting along with each other, with the [i]slight[/i] variations between us??

This is a genuinely original thought, which had never occurred to me. Although, as a Muslim told me, the reason the dog is unspeakable is it's the only creature (presumably excluding man) to make an enemy of its own kind.

@UpForItNow thank you for your kind words!
I don't know about that saying about dogs making enemies of their own kind. I wonder what the stories or experiences behind that are.
There is a similar Jewish teaching about fish. Most edible animals are supposed to be slaughtered in a particular quick and humane way, but you can kill fish any old way. Why? Because unlike cows, sheep, chickens, etc., fish devour each other!

@ServantOfTheGoddess Re dogs again, I saw this heartbreaking thing on my morning walk awhile back. I thought, that was a doggy murder, and those dogs look like self-satisfied thugs.
