Flashback Friday: Dog Soup Party | History Nebraska (https://history.nebraska.gov/blog/flashback-friday-dog-soup-party)

"Dog Eaters" is an alternate name for the Arapaho tribe. It is an English translation of the names for the Arapahos in the languages of neighboring tribes such as the Comanche (who called them Saretika, which literally means "they eat dogs.") The Arapahos, like many Plains Indian tribes, did raise dogs as food animals, whereas it was taboo to eat dog meat in Comanche culture."

We Americans tend to humanize our pets. But in much of the world, our tried-and-true friends are entrees. True. If uncomfortable.

Case in point. My wife and I were visiting relatives in Thailand. One evening we had dinner at an outdoor barbeque restaurant north of Korat. Something called a "Korean Barbecue"--a style where everyone gets a plate of raw meat and veggies, then tosses bits of it into a bubbling pot of stock to cook and taking it out to eat when done. Most of the meat and veggies I recognized. Some I didn't.

But when leaving the restaurant I had this irresistible urge to whiz on a fire hydrant.

Oh well...

Well I am sure Native Americans were the food for many wolves and coyotes.

In famines and sieges pets would often be eaten unfortunately.

A really good movie about how the first wolf might have been tamed.

I've been to China several times and had dog offered to me. They love Golden Retriever. Which I have to admit was certainly better than house cat.

What!? Nothing wrong with cat!

Braised Russian Blue with squash and young carrots--Maine Coon stuffed with acorns and smothered in wild sage gravy--Siamese stir-fried with water chestnuts and lemongrass--and my alltime favorite, Tabba a la king--the list is practically endless.

Maine Coon is the BK Whopper of cat cuisine.

I like TOTV much better when it was about The Villages. Not revolting things like eating cats and dogs.

The thread is about Native Americans and their dogs. Dogs played a vital part in their lives for thousands of years.

This is quite interesting. The dogs brought to the Hawaiian islands with the Polynesians could not adapt to that environment.

Earliest Dogs in North America: Natural History Notebooks (https://nature.ca/notebooks/english/earlydog.htm)

They have been in America a very long time.

The earliest probable dog remains found in North America are about 8700 to 14 000 years old. These dogs were medium-sized and likely used in hunting. Dogs of this time-period and region are not very common.

10 200 year-old remains were found in Colorado, U.S.A., at the Jones Miller site
11 000 to 14 000 year-old remains were found in Wyoming, U.S.A., at the Agate Basin site
8700 to 9300 year-old remains were found in Wyoming, U.S.A., at the Horner site.

Mayor of Kingstown - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayor_of_Kingstown)

I saw a story told by the character played by Dianne Wiest to her women female prison inmate students about Native Americans and their dogs crossing the Mississippi.

Thousands of dogs drowned trying to get to their families on the other side of the river as they were not allowed to cross on the barges. This was according to the teacher in the TV series.

https://screenrant.com/mayor-kingstown-miriam-cherokee-history-lessons-true-story/

Except that the writer who told that story made up the details. The dogs were allowed on the barges. http://inside.sfuhs.org/dept/history/US_History_reader/Chapter4/Ostler%20intro.pdf
