HOW ON EARTH DID THE HUMAN RACE SURVIVE THIS LONG?

So I was riding on the subway to work this morning, and the train bypassed Newkirk Avenue. It stopped first, and I assume the conductor was gonna let passengers out, but there was a big dog on the platform, so the doors stayed shut. The conductor actually announced over the intercom, "We're not opening the doors, because we're afraid the dog will get in." They ended up bypassing Newkirk completely.

What's funny to me is that the dog wasn't rabid-looking, or even barking at us. It was just hanging around the platform (Perhaps it was waiting for a train.) And we've got this car full of passengers, hundreds of passengers, and we were held hostage by a single dog.

The animals will one day rule the world.
