Ave Canem Ferocem

In your various adventures – on your various cruises, you’ve probably seen them – medium to small, rounded heads with pointy snouts, triangular stand-up ears, medium to short tails (usually with a curl), short (to really short) hair. From Asia to Australia to Polynesia to Mexico and South America, some are demonstrably “from there” – coming with the early homo sapien migrations. Others came later – brought by pioneers or sailors, and went feral. But it doesn’t seem to matter if they started out as beagles, terriers or whatever – they all seem to have gotten together and those that survived recreated that “particular look.” I haven’t read any scientific papers on the topic...

It is a dog east dog everywhere in our society. My Latin is a little rusty.
