I think ancient Egyptians had it right: if you killed a dog (alas, even a cat) you yourself could be executed.
Dogs were thought to be descended from Anubis, god of the underworld. Ironic, since the cats of Rome are the ones who inhabit most of that underground city. The Pharaohs gave their dogs silver necklaces to wear, and always included them in the family portraits.
Today, in Rome, some still wear fancy collars and those family photos still include the dog
.
But, what ever happened to the reverence of legal action where the common dog is concerned?
Where’s the phone?
