Thats a damn good point. Agree completely. A cop must be a bit "off" to put on a vest, gun, badge, go into bad neighborhoods almost always alone, with backup nearby though, and enforce laws on strangers who are often armed and desperate, work insane hours, and be bitten, stabbed, pissed on, have people shit in the car, puke in it, shoot at us and be despised by a significant % of soceity.....and all for a starting salary of 30-45K. And to keep doing it out of "duty".

In that example, you are right. The wolf and dog are more closely related than either to the sheep. Which is why a sheep hates the dog, but needs him to survive.
