If you had any biology in High School or College you should know the answer.
yeah, I know.....
I was visiting a friend, recently, with a Yellow Lab (female) who is about 15 months old....
First of all, she and I bonded immediately!!!!
Guess because I'd play 'fetch' with her, and her "Daddy" didn't have the time. But, when she'd come to me, and jump on the bed to sleep....or,
during the day, still....those moments we could lock eyes....and I wondered what she was thinking, as we stared at each other, in the eyes......
I'm ALPHA, based on her presenting her belly....so she knows her place, in the "pack".....
I had plenty of time to observe her anatomy.....and it is obvious to me how SIMILAR the anatomy of dogs, apes, and Humans is. MOST mammals, I
suppose.
Hate to be too blunt, but.....we Humans have a place where we excrete solid waste, and when you look at a Human skeleton, you see that at the bottom
of our vertebrae is the 'coccyx' bone, which looks like a vestigal tail. EXACTLY where a dog's (or cat's, or most mammal's) tail is, right above
the anus.
Further, in a female dog, the vagina is most evident, and is situated just below the anus, much the same as in Humans. (Same with male dogs, too, and
equivalent to male Humans)
In fact, this arrangement is mostly common to all mammals....only minor variations, in position and distance.
AGAIN, sorry to be so blunt....but anyone who has a brain (or has worked on a farm, or owned a pet, and cared to pay attention, without the bias of
some sort of religiously-based 'look-away' problem) has certainly seen this, as I describe it.
The bilogical arrangement of the excratory organs, and sex organs, vary only slightly, in most mammalian forms.
The INTERNAL organs dictate this, of course.....
OK....so, HOW DOES TIHS RELATE???
We, you and I who are reading this, are mammals...more specifically, we are relatedto simians, but at the very basest of basics, we are ALSO related
to all mammals....
Seeing a cute infant mammal STILL pulls our (most of us, at least) heartstrings....even IF IT IS NOT our own species...!!!!
Fascinating, isn't it????
