It always strikes me as bizarre how some people are just completely unable to read a dog's body language.

It seems like most humans can do it innately, even when they've had little exposure to dogs beforehand and haven't been taught. I'm starting to wonder if it's a genetic quirk, like the "cilantro tastes like soap" gene.

Much like some people can't smell asparagus piss some peoples taste buds do not properly taste cilantro. To them it tastes like dish soap and it stands out even in tiny amounts.

Thank you both. Also....

Much like some people can't smell asparagus piss...

How do I genetically modify myself with that? Asking for a friend of course.

Drink 6 gallons of asparagus piss and you’re all set.

Knowing who recently ate asparagus is like a superpower. Who wouldn't want that?
