The dog in humans

The dog in humans.

Dogs can be wonderful pets and bring much joy to their owners. They truly are man’s best friend. And they can be his protector, and his companion.
They can be trained to hunt, to play games, and an eye seeing dog is indispensable to a blind person.
Most dogs love bones. Show a dog a bone and he will bark, jump up and down, and beg. He leaves no doubt that he really wants that bone.
Now when you give the dog the bone , he may chew on it for hours and you see happiness personified.
Now the dog has the bone, the bone is his. He owns it. You can’t have it back.
If you try to take the bone away, suddenly the dog is no longer your friend. He is your enemy and he will fight you with all his might to retain possession of the bone. He completely forgets that just a short will before he was begging you for the bone.
I guess this is the HUMAN nature in the dog. I look at what is happening in Wisconsin, Ohio, and other places and I think about the dog. It appears that humans are just like the dog. The employer (owner) has been feeding them bones (money) for a long time and they all wagged their tails happily.
Suddenly the bone market is drying up and the owner needs to retrieve some of the bones from the humans to pay some bills.
The humans now become the enemy and start fighting to save their bones. It is not as though they won’t still have ample bones to chew on. It is just the fact---”These bones are mine, mine, mine. You gave them to me and you can’t have the back!!!!”
It is the DOG nature coming out in humans. Sad.
