Watching Nova's Dog Decoded, I was really intrigued throughout the video and what they had to say about dogs. I learned, but was not expecting the researchers findings to be the way they were. The dogs were scene as a mixture of a wolf and fox. The findings lead more towards dogs coming from wolfs, but seems to have taken a new direction now. I did know that dogs sort of originated from wolfs and they cross breaded some how. I didn't really put to two and two together. But researchers are still trying to figure out how the dogs went from being a lot like the wolf and having those traits , to switching gears and coming from other traits.
The video was put together made it seem like dogs were this wild diseased creature that just came to life out of the blew. This does not change my view about the shelter at all. The dogs in the shelter just want to have a loving home, they are not disease. The shelter tries to prevent any kind of disease and provides the best care for the animals as they can. I think that the animals that are in the shelter are viewed by the public as having issues that need to be taken care of and now they are left hopelessly to fend from themselves. Fend from themselves is that the animal has to go through a series of tests, put in a small cage, having countless people walk by it a day awaiting that time they pick you to take home. All of this takes a toll on the animal, they are all eager, have hope that today is their day for adopting.

I thought it was interesting too that dogs are descendants of wolves and were once wild. I know I can't imagine my spoiled rotten pups out in the world on their own. String Bean looks like a very sweet girl. Maybe next time you are at the shelter you can zoom into her face a little more so we can see loving personality!
ReplyDeleteThat film defiantly made me think more into where dogs really come from.On the other hand, I am still trying to figure out my focusing on the animals and tying to capture their face! Thank you for the advice!
DeleteI think it is important to note that dogs EVOLVED from wolves. We bred dogs into becoming dependent on humans. Their DNA is not the same as wolves today, and as the film points out, their features and personality are very different as well. The same thing was true with the scientist who did the 40+ year study on foxes. As they bred out the aggressiveness, the foxes features started to change... I highly recommend going back to watch the video again. I have watched it several times, and I learn something new each time.
ReplyDeleteI will do so, the film is loading with interesting information and I will be sure to again to keep going over the film.
DeleteI would suggest cropping your image so you can focus in more on her sweet face and using some of the other techniques we learned in class so you can have a very successful image. Also I wouldn't use the image of her looking away because you can't see how cute she really is! I would just re-watch the editing videos Shannah posted and use all those tools on your images. Keep up the good work and improving your images!
ReplyDeleteI defiantly need to work on cropping out the background of this picture, I agree. I also need to work on getting the attention better as well. Thank you!
