I love dogs!! I have a dachshund 
I love dogs too! I had two boxers, which are domestic dogs, a boy and a girl unfortunately they both passed away.
I am sorry to hear that. My dog is a rescue, she killed her first owner, but i took her in.
That's insane! Dogs physically and socially evolved and they have acquired the ability to understand humans more than any other species. 
She is a killer dachshund. Her first owner, an old lady was going to take the dog for a walk, but the dog wrapped the leash around the lady's legs.  The lady fell down the stairs and died. 
Oh, so the dachshund (a short legged, long bodied dog) just wrapped the leash around her legs. I thought you mean't the owner got mauled or something.
