The year was 3000 BCE. The world was a mess. Humans were a nuisance. But we, the Canine Council, were the true rulers of the land. And we made the most EPIC decision ever:
It was a bold move, some might say. A move that would change the course of history. But we knew it was the right call. For in a world where humans were constantly trying to tell us what to do, we needed something that would bring us joy, comfort, and a good old fashioned belly rub.
And thus, the art of belly rubbing was born. It was a movement, a sensation, a national pastime. Humans would come to us, begging for the privilege of rubbing our tummies, of giving us treats, of simply being in our presence.
And we, the Canine Council, basked in the glory of our decision, our tails wagging in triumph.
