Willy
and the Black Dog
Elephants, Whales, Dolphins, are right up there with Primates in brain size, social skills and intelligence, and Dogs, Wolves and Cats are way up there too.Eating the Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge and therefore knowing the difference between good and Evil is the Jewish/Islamic/Christian shared explanation of the elevation of humans above the other animals in creation.
I think the Scriptures are right in the case of the Orca killing its Trainer, It didn’t comprehend what it did and the incident was a tragic accident. However, I wonder how close these higher animals are to conscious thought, does the Orca miss its trainer? Does the Orca feel a loss? I think the Orca does feel a loss, but is unable to link its behavior in the incident in question to the disappearance of a being that it interacted with prior to the event. So the Orca may feel loss, but is incapable of feeling guilt or remorse, and it’s probably just as well for its own mental health? They are using these dogs to help find and track declining Orca populations, so it’s probably better for us that the Orca’s don’t comprehend good and evil as their environments are despoiled??
Mt cat used to sit on the porch in the morning, waiting for me to come home at the same time every day so it could get into the house, unless it was in the house whereupon, it mattered less if I wasn’t there. The cat would generally walk up cautiously to any vehicle that slowed down, even more so if it was the usual vehicle, it knew it by some sense, sound, shape or smell I don’t know and it would start mewing away in an irritated manner at me as I emerged from the vehicle and moved towards the door, It was aware of so many thing, time, people, vehicles and space. I’m hungry,bored, lonely and tired, so hurry up and get in there so I can eat, drink, poop then lay down on your sorry tummy and take a well deserved nap!!!
Once again, considering that Elephants, Whales, Dolphins, are right up there with Primates in brain size, social skills and intelligence, and Dogs, Wolves and Cats are way up there too, my cat often seemed to know right from wrong? Towards the end of its 20 year life, the cat figured out that if it knocked over my 32 ounce Diet Mountain Dew glass, that it might get spanked, but it would also get me to get up off my dead ass and give it more food, fresh water and maybe even milk. So after a good nap, the Cat would go over to the Coffee table by the sofa where we had been sleeping and sit next to the offending 32 ounce Diet Mountain Dew Glass. It would make eye contact with me, then slowly put its paw on the glass in order to knock it over. I would say no!! Quit it!! and the cat would take is paw off the glass and wait till I wasn’t staring at it, then repeat the placement of the paw on the glass. It would keep this up until it either knocked the glass over and knew it had to hide or I got tired and checked its food and water or let it out.
The real scary thought is how similar this pattern is to my normal everyday interactions with women in the house. All the hallmarks of this behavior between two supposedly higher species are there, Everything is running along smoothly, except I have a harder time getting women to fall asleep on my tummy? It’s all there, boredom, attention-getting, boundary violations and enforcement, drama, contests of wills, goals, rewards and anger and making up, the cat generally hides for at least 20 minutes after wiping out a pop before thinking its safe to wander back into the area. OMG!!! And remember, Dogs and Cats are up there but they aren’t the smartest animal on earth.
My first family dog was a Cocker Spaniel that was overbred, It had issues and had to be put to sleep cause it bit a neighbor girl. Before we got Milady of Killarney; Lady for short (an Irish Setter and a perfect dog) I expressed my childish longing for another dog by always paying attention to Sam, a Big Black Labrador that kept the local UPS and Mail trucks under control when it returned from its jaunts over much of McLean County or Bloomington/Normal anyway’ Dogs like this were more common in those days, and he was one of hundreds that more or less did and went wherever they pleased. You couldn’t miss this dog, it was big enough to give a full-grown wolf second thoughts and was basically nice to everything except Possums,, Rats, and Mail and UPS trucks. This was back in the late 60′s and I still like big dogs like this except the Trailer Park doesn’t so I like Cats as well. Oh, I love some smaller dogs, but they are loud and not as fun to wrestle with.
I was on my way on foot from downtown Bloomington (Center and Washington) where I got off and wasn’t willing to wait for a connecting bus to far West Washington street (Out by the old depot and Purina) to pay my electric bill to avoid shutoff. This involves walking through the old residential districts of Bloomington, with old houses, lots of old large trees and some commercial stuff, it was a nice day and warm and sunny. I’m walking along and I get bumped by a large moving object, a big Black Lab. He ( I think, I didn’t check really), looked just like that picture above, tongue hanging out and all. Sam was famous for being all over the West Side half the time even though he lived in East Normal in theory and could have been Sam, except Sam was older and this dog was a rowdy younger version.
Well, I believe that all the dogs barking at the Orcas in the videos below are black Labs and if they aren’t afraid of Orcas, I doubt they worry too much about me? I don’t fall down easy, but this dog is probably about the size limit I can have hurling itself at me without falling down. I put my arms out to the side and the dog quickly jumped up to my right arm, but he was just trying to get it near his head to rub it. Then he’s jumping up to see how long he can stay eye level with the new buddy he found and the eyes said it all, tongue still hanging out, this is fun Ha Ha!!
After a few more attempts to get eye level and some petting and head rubbing he starts looking around again at the rest of the world. No owner appeared to take him off and I’m just thinking, nice dog but he’s too big to be loose cause he could knock a child or old person over real easy. Even at my size and experience with big dogs, I was briefly thinking “Don’t ball your fist and keep your palms open”, but he was just a big dog having a blast and being itself. So I start moving again in the direction of my goal and the dog is still all over the place, going ahead, to the side and behind, looking for something new. He found a big puddle and got a drink, made various feints towards crossing Washington street that he never carried out, showing some sense, Washington is a fairly busy east west street, but he has no problem crossing the north south cross streets. I worry he’ll get hit, but that’s the joy of a dog’s life is going where ever he sees fit so I can’t do anything. Take him home, this is exactly the kind of dog they don’t like in a Trailer Park, a ranger, going and doing whatever.He keeps looking back at me, and briefly stops at one house right by the gate, where he hears a smaller dog barking somewhere behind a fence and he’s waiting for me to open the gate, and I’m thinking, no, I’m not letting you go in there and terrorize this little invisible loudmouth, He wants the gate open but I break eye contact and he runs off ahead again. He understands a gate, but the latch is fortunately beyond his comprehension, but He knows I can open it?
Well, I’m getting near Park Street and the Old depot, that intersection is kinda busy and the railroad yards are beyond it, so I’m betting the dog doesn’t go any farther and I’m right, I’m glad he dropped off, but I was sorry I didn’t see him again on the way back, sigh, I decide maybe I need another cat? I love dogs, but they are almost too easy to please, a Cat is more of a challenge, Cats like to receive sensations and are more standoffish in general and remind you that you are not the center of the universe, the cat is. A good dog wants to have fun and just slobber wet sloppy kisses on everything? I didn’t fall down, panic or show any hostility so the dog assumed I was dominant which is good since they contest the issue with UPS trucks and Orcas even if Train Locomotives scare em a bit? They are almost smart enough to realize that Mail trucks and UPS Vans have dog loving people driving them usually. Almost, so close but so far. My reading of the Orcas behavior is that it was displaying the exuberance and excessive physicality that the large Black Lab displayed, it’s just too big and the Black Lab is almost too big to act like that. The same wild, playful abandon that the big black dog displayed is what killed the Orca’s trainer?
.
Now, we go to the deeper cosmic issues underlying and tying this whole disjointed ADHD inspired ranting together. We (Human beings) have eaten from the tree of Knowledge, we know and are able to develop the ideas of good and evil? I looked into the Black Dog’s eyes long enough to see that the Dog remembered that I used to know its sire, Sam the Black Labrador, It knew me, that’s why it was so happy to see me, it remembered that I knew Sam?In 6he Earth Children series, the Neanderthals had the highest developement of the pre Tree of Knowledge brains, they remember everything and pass it along in their DNA. Learning was a slower practice of pulling out memories and survival skills from the unconscious brain, and I was a cesarean baby, I have more Neanderthal genes and memories of the eternal oneness that used to be the path to knowledge before our brains became big enough to conceptualize good and evil.
I remember running free with the wolves in paradise, I remember swimming in the sea, I remember a more perfect world. I know who is to blame when the ancient Sea turtle crawls up on the shore in the gulf coast to die, poisoned by forces beyond its understanding, I saw the pain in its eyes Didn’t you? How can you stand yourself, defiler of everything we love, how can you stand it? Willy is talking to the Black Dog, he’s asking the Black Dog what is going on, he’s wondering who is to blame? The Black Dog doesn’t know or does it?
