And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I'm chewing into that Assyria book I posted a while back, and it is super interesting...because of stuff like this.
Aksaray Malaklısı; the largest of the Anatolian sheep dogs, also known as the Turkish mastiff or Anatolian Lion, was used a war dog by the Assyrians 4000-2500 years ago.
In norther Iraq, we had to cull the wild dogs every six months or so. Sure, one dog with puppies is cute. A pack of one or two dozen hungry dogs will hunt and kill you.
I read that the dingo is an intermediate type that was replaced by humans at around the times mentioned here. Without looking it up, I'll assume this is also an intermediate breed, and walk away satisfied.
