My dog also does nothing when not prompted, and he seems to be surviving just fine.

- tluyben2 5y agoYour dog is convinced you will provide it with food and drink and other care until it dies(until you don't: it will look elsewhere eventually). I think if that would be the same for humans, things would be different. It seems it is something people strive to achieve even though when it finally happens, they won't be able to handle it. Dogs contemplate the passing of time and the waste (this is our sentiment, not inherent to nature) not at all in the same manner.
- jsiaajdsdaa 5y agoInteresting comment. As a human, I could quite easily procure food and drink that would last me for maybe a decade. I could also get firewood and medicine and some books so that I could entertain myself in a bunker in the event I wanted to live like that. I think if a dog realized that food/drink isnt coming, he would go into feral mode and go hunting for that. But upon being satisfied, he would take a break for a bit, because he doesn't have the concept of stockpiling or calculating his long term needs.
