Back to our original train of thoughts before I have to go do some work.
I'm also curious about equines, as far as how long they've been alongside us, and how that fits in with k9s, and the prevalence of equine and k9 with zoos.
In other words, in what I was looking at last night for k9s, equines were mentioned, and it didn't hit me at the time, but I'm pretty sure they were second in longevity with humans only to k9s.
I also seem to remember a poll on this site, that showed k9s as most popular, with equines second.
I'd love to get good numbers on that, and I'm curious is the time ratio between the two would he close to the popularly ratio...
