Reply #50: Devotion to the giver of food is common to all animals.

[heidler1]

My mother saw to it that every dog I had was fed and therefore they were very quick to come when she called, even if they were playing with me and seemed to be completely engrossed in the play. They would come to me if they were in the mood for play, but they were always in the mood for food. Soothing babies is infinitely easier for its nursing mother. All food sources are real and provable one way or the other and have only dependence in common with Gods which are neither real IMO or provable and in fact extremely undependable IMO. Their specialty is behaving in mystical ways IMO.
