Shipwrecked Dog
This story of a canine overboard (“Austrialian Canine Castaway Found”) is not only “heart-warming” but it gives a sense of the different personalities a dog will exhibit vis-a-vis those outside the family and those inside. Likely the dog better represents aspects of psychoanalyst Takeo Doi’s in-group / out-group theory than humans. The video of the dog’s owner describes how the dog was “wild and vicious” to others and then easily returned to a carefree domestic life with its owners.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7986816.stm
