      Yeah, it sounds like dogs are man’s best friend, and horses are that other one who thinks they’re good friends with man, but it turns out that man was just using horses like a tool and telling horses that a friend would carry all of man’s stuff and would fight for man, and man is always sending horses out to buy stuff without ever paying horses back. Man is actually a bullying horses!

        Cities had big problems dealing with all the horse corpses. They were consumable tools before motorized transportation allowed them to be saved only for leisure and a few specialized tasks.

          The modern dog food industry in the US was built on the rapid collapse of horses as a necessity when the assembly line made automobiles attainable. Once again, our best friend comes in to save the day!
