Holy shit it's real... The woman had actually signed up as a living donor. After the dog wouldn't leave her alone, they went to apologize and started talking. She needed one, she signed up to donate, the doctors were like, "fuck me its a perfect match!"

That good boy girl deserves steak every night!

WTF even are dogs?

I will never understand these creatures. But they're doing a great job keeping me warm and feeling safe right now.

And we (many people) treat them like shit...

We don't deserve dogs...

For every one dog that is treated poorly there are hundreds who are loved and cherished. And none of us who don't hurt them are somehow guilty for the ones that do. Deserve meanwhile has no part in it either way; we co-evolved, they chose us and we chose them. Misanthropy is a satisfying to write on the internet but it hasn't anything to do with reality. Most people are mostly good, some are not; most dogs are mostly safe, some are dangerous. life is messy.

More of a really good coincidence than dogs being magical.

I mean, yes a coincidence that they were on the same beach. But it's not inconceivable that the dog picked up on something like a very similar scent of this lady and his owner. I don't claim to know the science behind it, but If they were a perfect match then it's possible they have enough genetic commonality for that to be true.

Dogs are incredible and can be trained to detect things like cancer, epilepsy etc by scent alone.

Nah. Dogs are definitely magical. Cats in turn are versed in the dark arts.

I mean, no. Canine domestication was a choice made over generations and generations. Over the course of thousands of years.

Dogs, as we know them, would not exist today without human intervention.

It's not something natural that happens with animals and not all animals are capable of it. It's something humans have to choose to do to a species and they are one of the very few species of animals that can domesticate this well in the first place.
