What about police or seeing eye dogs? You're telling me they aren't well enough trained to be controlled in any situation without resorting to being wolf like?  |
And human beings are more controlled by our instinct than we care to acknowledge, that doesn't mean that it's not a factor in almost all the decisions we make to one extent or another.
As for police or seeing-eye dogs, any animal can snap under trauma, and their "default operating system" is instinct. My friend told stories of police dogs that had been the victims of trauma or abuse at the hands of offenders that were never the same and in some cases had to be put down because of the level of damage. Some of these animals even reverted and attacked their own trusted handlers and trainers. An animal is an animal is an animal.
