Instincts

It is astonishing how mankind could breed a dog race like the Basset Hound, which looks so different from its biological ancestor – the wolf. With its long ears and its sagging skin, it looks more like a caricature of the wolf than a descendant of it. An impressive example of how the humans control nature. But what are the artificial teeth with the blood doing in front of the dog? In the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood the wolf eats the grandmother of the little girl and later fools the child by wearing the clothes of the old lady. Again it seems like the dog wasn ‘t able to control its instincts and ate the grandmother just like a wolf would have done it. The only thing left is the unchewable set of artificial teeth and the insight that mankind mind not be so much in charge of nature as it believes to be.
