	Dogs and wolves.
	On the surface, the dogs sound like a better bet.
	Dogs are friendlier.
	It's easier to teach them tricks.
	They're more predictable.
	Well, the wolf, even the friendly wolf, always has an edge of wild nature in him.
	You can't quite predict the wolf as well as you can the dog.
	But have you ever seen a group of dogs left to their own devices without a human master to take care of them?
	I have.
	And they are the most sad, pathetic, desperate, and lonely creatures you've ever seen.
	They start acting out.
	The company of other dogs, while exciting at first, over the long run, just doesn't satisfy the poor beasts.
	They crave a master.
	While the wolf, you take a group of wolves and put them in the same place, what do you get?
	Civilization.
	Furthermore, you take a group of wolves and you give one of those wolves rabies.
	The rest of the wolf will put that wolf down.
	Well, the dogs, they'll panic.
	They won't do anything about it whatsoever.
	The wolf craves freedom.
	He's built for the wilderness.
	He is a wild animal.
	And if you try and tell a dog about freedom, about pitting your skill and your strength against the wild elements, come what may, the dog doesn't understand.
	The dog thinks that freedom is a biscuit from the hand of his master.
	A world of endless biscuits is what the dog imagines freedom to be.
	See, when you get right down to it, the dog is a degenerate slave race.
	So what happens if you put a wolf into a pack of dogs?
	Now one wolf, one dog, one wolf, three dogs.
	The wolf's probably going to come out on top, create a pack of its own, maybe a degenerate pack.
	Not as powerful as a true wolf pack, but the wolf is going to come out on top.
	The dogs know that they don't have the strength to fight the wolf.
	But when you put a wolf into a society of dogs, that wolf is smart enough to know that a hundred dogs will chew him to pieces.
	And so you have a wolf skulking as if they're a dog, trying to blend in to this degenerate dog society and not draw attention.
	Sometimes the wolf will internalize this rage at this submission, at having to be submissive to these vile, incompetent mutts.
	Other times it will acquire mental disorder.
	It'll start behaving erratically.
	It'll start suffering from depression.
	Because dogs are dogs, and wolves are not meant to fit in with them.
