Unbiased, Naturally

How much more cleverly adaptive
are humans than other animals,
say dogs, for example? How much
more instinctively able to negotiate
their environment, socialize
seek out challenges of adventure
and physical prowess, enjoy life
make friends for a lifetime
become altruistic, learn discipline
and self-sacrifice? In all sincerity
and without risking credulity
it's close to a draw, with dogs
given the slight edge in patience
consideration and forgiveness.
