Considering a future where dogs live without humans encourages us to focus on their needs now. This thought gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the stark differences in life experiences between homebound and free-roaming dogs. While challenges lie ahead if dogs must fend for themselves, emphasizing their independence and âdognessâ now benefits them. The goal is to promote dog literacy, ensuring guardians understand canine needs, which enhances their lives in a human-centric world, both now and in any potential future without us.
"While thoughts of doomsday prepping dogs for when we're no longer around may be unsettling, there are some upsides to thinking about how dogs will do without us while we're still here."
"The upside of this thought experiment is that the more we understand dogs and allow them to be dogs and to express their 'dogness,' the better it will be for them right now."
