Everything in nature has its own nature, and when faced with death, both humans and animals will show their own nature and instinct.
Among the many proverbs that circulate in the countryside, there is a well-known sentence: the cat dies and returns to the mountain, the eagle dies and flies to the sky, and the dog dies and leaves home.
People who have raised earth dogs should have a deep understanding of this sentence, because we usually find that they will leave their homes when they are dying, and will not die at home, and most of us can only find their corpses in some remote and quiet places.
Everyone said that this phenomenon was because they were afraid that their master would be sad and didn't want their master to be sad for themselves, so they would leave.
As the most loyal and affectionate friend of human beings, this reason is indeed very convincing, so is there only one reason behind this phenomenon?And why does it show such a nature?
The color of our rural dogs is generally yellow, white, black or mixed color, with a short mouth and a flat forehead, and the appearance is not so beautiful and cute compared with most pet dogs now, but when it comes to loyalty, it is definitely not inferior to half a point.
Although they are all dogs, there are still certain differences between pet dogs and rural dogs because of their different ways of raising and natural habits.
First of all, the body of the pet dog is not as strong as the body of the dog, because most of the dogs in the countryside are free-range, and they often fight with their peers outside, "recruiting cats and teasing dogs".
At the beginning, when rural people raised dogs, they would give dogs that could not be eaten to dogs, and they would not have indigestion and other conditions, even if they were rough and grew very well.
However, the range of activities of pet dogs is relatively limited, so the physical fitness will be relatively weak, and most of them are carefully selected when people feed them.
If you don't pay more attention to some ** diseases or something, it is very likely to cause a fatal blow to them.
In terms of personality, although both earth dogs and pet dogs can be well described, earth dogs will become very fierce when their territory is invaded.
If a stranger comes to touch them, they are rarely allowed to get close to them, because they are very cold to strangers, and pet dogs will have a good temper.
Even if someone you don't know touches them, they will be very docile and let others touch them, and another point is that the earth dog has a very strong ability to recognize the way, even if it is lost far away, as long as it does not encounter an accident, they will definitely be able to return home.
Pet dogs are a little road idiots, and some tempers will be very arrogant and picky eaters, but this mainly depends on the way the owner raises them.
There is also a very obvious difference that pet dogs are more expensive, and the higher the appearance, the higher the "value", and the soil dog ** is very low, and most of them do not need to spend money.
Dogs will become very quiet when they die, and like to burrow under the sofa and other more remote and quiet places, while the earth dog is very obvious that it will leave the house silently before dying.
I don't know if you know that one of my country's border police dogs, Kurosawa, came to a border management detachment in Yunnan, China in 2015, and has since started his career as a border guard.
In this way, he has been the right-hand man of mankind for 7 years, and during these seven years, he has dutifully dedicated himself, participated in more than 2,500 duties in total, and spent more than 6 hours of training and duty every day.
In 2022, Kurosawa was honorably retired, and everyone held an honorable retirement ceremony for it, and then he was kept in the police room. During this period, whenever I heard the siren, even if my steps were staggering, I would still react immediately, get up and come to the car, and wanted to follow along to carry out the mission.
And as time goes by, Kurosawa is getting older and older, and his health is not as good as before, and in related reports, Kurosawa has taken the initiative to leave the police room silently three times.
During a surveillance **, people saw it hobbling towards the door, stopped and slowly turned around when it reached the door, and then left silently.
People eventually found it in the mountains behind the police office, and Kurosawa had a premonition of his own death, so he chose to leave the house silently.
Even if many domestic dogs in the countryside are not systematically trained like Kurosawa, they all behave the same way before they die, and they will silently leave their homes for a long time and find a place outside that they think is quiet and wait for death silently.
Before explaining why, let's first understand where the so-called "earth dog" came from.
In fact, the "soil dog" is not soil, it has a very elegant name, called "Chinese pastoral dog", this breed has existed in our country for thousands of years, has a very long history, in the beginning of the time even called "Chinese national dog".
It is said that Qin Shi Huang led this kind of dog when he unified the Central Plains, and their ancestors were the famous Southeast Asian wolves, but they were gradually domesticated into dogs in the more and more extensive activities of human beings.
Some of the existing research data suggest that the domestication of dogs can be traced back to 150,000 years ago, it was the first animal domesticated by humans, and a mainstream theory is that the domestication process began with captive wolf cubs.
However, in the subsequent research and development, this view was rejected, because before the emergence of agricultural civilization, there were great problems in the survival of human beings, and it was simply unrealistic to keep wolf cubs in captivity.
In ancient times, humans and wolves were in a symbiotic relationship, and in order to survive and participate in hunting, people gradually discovered that with the participation of wolves, hunting would be easier.
In ancient times, there was no way to store food for a long time, so humans would give food to wolves, and slowly wolves entered people's lives and gradually evolved into dogs.
So it's easy to understand why dogs leave home silently when death comes.
The first is that wolves are social animals, in order to prevent the decomposition of their own corpses after death from affecting their companions, and also to prevent attracting other carnivores that feed on them, which may pose a danger to the entire race.
Therefore, before dying, they will break away from the wolves and face death on their own, so even if they are domesticated, the dogs will still retain this nature, which is the so-called atavistic phenomenon.
The second reason is that before they die, their bodies are already very bad, they have a lot of mental drain, and they will feel very frightened in a noisy environment.
Because I know that my body's defense ability is very low, I tend to find a quiet and safe place to protect myself so that I can leave quietly.
There is also a very high IQ of dogs, very intelligent, and their owners have a very deep relationship, but also have a strong sense of self-esteem.
In order not to let the owner see his weak appearance, and in order to maintain his dignity, he will choose to leave the house, not wanting the owner to be sad.
There are also sick dogs, in the case of organ failure, their brain tissue will be damaged, just like we humans suffer from Alzheimer's disease, will slowly forget everything.
And when they forget everything, their own fear will gradually increase and spread over them, so they will go out to find a place where they can feel safe and wait for death.
People will also wonder why they can predict their own death
In fact, it is because they have a very sensitive sense of smell, and before death, they will emit a unique smell from their body, accompanied by loss of appetite and vomiting.
At the same time, it will also become very afraid of cold, and the sleep time will be longer than before, so if friends who have been raising dogs for a long time find that their dogs have such a situation, they must pay more attention and do not disturb them too much.
Although the earth dog is a little worse than most of the pet dogs in the family now, it is still our most loyal friend.
Anyone who has raised a local dog will know that the ability of the local dog to take care of the home is particularly strong, and in the past, every household in the countryside would raise some poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese.
At night, the poultry will find some wild animals such as weasels and wild cats to covet, and the earth dogs have very developed hearing, and will set up a cordon in advance before they arrive to protect these poultry, and also to prevent thieves.
Their hunting ability is also very strong, some earth dogs have been hunting for a long time, even wild boars can be killed, although the ability to be vigilant against strangers is very strong, but absolutely easy-going and loyal to the owner.
I don't know if you have seen Hachiko, the loyal dog, this is a movie based on real events that made countless people cry until they collapsed.
Before its owner went out one day, it kept blocking its master's footsteps as if it had a premonition of its master's death, but in the end it did not stop.
As usual, it watched the departure of its master in the old place, and waited for the return of its master in that place as always, and the master really did not come back after this time, and it waited for ten years, loyal and unwavering.
Even if it was sent out by the little master, it crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to return to the original place, silently waiting for its master who would never return.
When the danger comes, the dog will also be very brave in front of the owner, and will solve problems for the owner, and the loyalty and selfless dedication even exceed that of humans.
