I dunno. A lot of variety among the Asian Muslims. It's probably more about culture and tradition than religion.
I get it now. This is to cover the Shamus shitting in a crate on top of the Romney's Vacation car speeding down the road....;} clever....someone's earning his pay check...;}
Oh, yeah? Well, the Romney's didn't eat Seamus, did they? That's more than you can say for the Usurper. And just which canine dish did our Kenyan president prefer anyway? Terrier steaks? Pug stew? Baby-back Irish setter? Poodle under glass?
And thank you. They're both psycopaths. I look forward to Obama's dog eating episode coming to the fore. Haven't seen it yet except for here.
Prayer list ping.
LMFAO. You Fundies have a pejorative against praying for animals....8D
Baking and eating dog here has fallen out of fashion in North America, but it is a meat that is fair game elsewhere. So President Obama ate dog as an indigenous dish in an Asian country. This is no big deal. To say the least. I would never give anyone shit about that. Unless it involved eating people or sme incredibly intelligent creature, which a dog is not.
Careful. My dog saved my life...and I consider that to be a fairly intelligent thing for my dog to do....;}
I'll always give you fairly intelligent, but not extremely. I've always been interested in this question of intelligence and animals like the human and other great apes, or dolphins and whales. I like dogs, and had several while growing up. They were all smart as dogs go, and I was never tempted to eat any that passed away. ;-)
But you were interested in eating them while they were alive?....;} A dog can keep up with a two year old. The diff comes when a child figures out that you're pointing at an object. But nothing beats my dogs for empathy. They know exactly how I feel at all times.
Dogs actually are so in sync with humans they recognize the finger pointing and will look when larger brained primates not so acclimated to us will miss that meaning. Dogs have been joined at the hip with humanity so long, what a pointed finger means has become almost intellectually known to them. I found that interesting when scientist figured that one out. A common test of frontal lobe development is often the test of awareness that a reflection is of the observer. A dolphin one puts a paint spot on will go to a mirror nearby and look at what you did to that particular body part one painted. Also other tests dolphins actually outdo humans in, such as the number of meaningless sounds they can repeat back in tests scoping out that capacity.
No. They have to be taught it.
Dogs Succeed While Chimps Fail at Following Finger Pointing: Chimpanzees Have Difficulty Identifying Object of Interest Based On Gestures ScienceDaily (Feb. 8, 2012) — Dogs are better than chimps at interpreting pointing gestures, according to a study published in the online journal PLoS ONE. Katharina Kirchhofer, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, led a team in the investigation of 20 chimps and 32 dogs presented with the same task: retrieving an object the experimenter wanted, as indicated by the experimenter pointing. The researchers found that the dogs performed well, but the chimps failed to identify the object of interest. These results emphasize the difference in chimp response to human gaze, which they have been shown to be good at following, versus gestures. "The fact that chimpanzees do not understand communicative intentions of others, suggests that this may be a uniquely human form of communication. The dogs however challenge this hypothesis. We therefore need to study in more detail the mechanisms behind dogs' understanding of human forms of communication," says Dr. Kirchhofer.
Dogs can learn it. They aren't born that way like you seemed to imply.
I cite research, not merely a random notion. Why are you so insane you can't see that simple fact? Not even citing the study stops ou from inventing your own reality. Here is more citation of what researchers are finding out: How dogs interpret human communication Sit a dog in front of a television screen, and it may not always look intently at what it sees. But show a person on that screen who looks directly at the dog and says "hello," and the canine will pay attention. In fact, a new study shows that a dog will go so far as to follow the gaze of the human onscreen when he or she looks to one side or the other - something not even chimps can do. Researchers already knew that dogs were attuned to human communication signals. In addition to their obvious facility at learning commands, dogs, like young children, can signal where a human puts an object if the human feigns ignorance, even if it's been moved, and they follow the direction of our finger when we point at things, a task chimps fail at. But are dogs capable of following more subtle cues, such as our shifting gaze? To find out, cognitive scientist Erno Teglas of the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary, adapted a technique that had previously been used only on children. In one example of the test, a child watches a woman on a video screen who has toys on either side of her. The woman then either looks straight toward the camera and says "hello" in a high-pitched voice known to engage children or looks downward and says "hello" in a more dull, low-pitched voice. Then the person looks to the toy on one side or the other for 5 seconds. Whether a child also looks at the toy on the same side is recorded. To modify this experiment for dogs, Teglas substituted empty plastic pots for the children's toys and had a stranger on the screen say "Hi, dog!" in one of the two intonations while looking at the camera or downward. As each dog watches the video, a specially programmed camera below the television screen follows, and records, the dog's eye movements. Teglas and his colleagues used 22 dogs of different breeds for the study. They found that the canines always looked at the person on the video for the same amount of time. But when the person initially directed his or her attention at the dog and spoke in a high-pitched voice, the dog looked at the same pot as the person 69 percent of the time. When the person avoided eye contact and spoke in a low voice, the dog didn't look at one pot more often than the other. The results, published in Current Biology, were almost identical to those seen in 6-month-old human infants. "We were surprised by the high similarity of the performances," Teglas says. "Dogs are receptive to these cues in a way that is very similar to infants." The precision of the eye-tracking device will allow scientists to develop a new generation of tests on how dogs interact with humans, says Juliane Kaminski, a developmental psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, who was involved in earlier studies on how dogs interpret finger pointing. "It opens many new opportunities." Now that the scientists have shown that the test works on dogs, they plan to separate the two factors - eye contact and tone of voice - to test each one's effect on the dog's attention, Teglas says. They also can compare different dog breeds. This may help answer the question of how dogs' skills at interpreting human communication have evolved. "Dog skills with human communication seem to be a special adaptation to live with humans and the result of certain selection pressures during domestication," Kaminski says. If this is true, researchers would expect dog breeds that have been domesticated the longest to perform best at tests such as gaze following. But don't plan on being able to compare your dog with all the other neighborhood canines - dogs likely interpret the cues from their owner differently than those from a stranger.

Dogs are smart, and domestication has caused the close relationship between humans and canines to evolve and change dogs into a species where those dogs that relate to and understand their masters and other humans do exceedingly far better then others survive and pass along the traits that helped them be successful in the biological niche they are in. This is not hard a thing to see and understand, and as we see, research backs this up.
