Dogs are more useful to society. Think of all the service dogs for the blind, drug sniffing dogs, police dogs etc...
It doesn't necessarily make them better, but it's certainly a point in their favour.
If anyone wishes to bring up that more people are seriously injured by dogs, that's generally the owner's fault in the way they raised them. It would appear both cats and dogs are better than some humans in that respect.

Poor baby!
I once had a boxer and they are the sweetest, dopiest things. It just kills me to see one in pain!
I am glad things worked out and he is okay!

Yes, I believe this dirt snack would have strong roots in pica.
Pica is most prevalent amongst children and pregnant women. Pregnant women with pica are particularly inclined towards eating dirt.
There is a theory that there are certain nutrients in dirt that pregnant women are often deficient in, causing them to develop cravings for dirt. It is something that appears to be innate, even if it is technically a pathology.

"Seems that any home with a 500 book library would not need statistical correction for educational attainment of parents. The 500 books pretty much indicate a home inclined to view education positively."

That is exactly why these homes DO need statistical correction for parental educational attainment

"since when is 'white' a culture?"

I should have clarified I was talking specifically about white Americans. Believe it or not, there is a multitude of significant cultural differences between white Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans etc.... The same goes for any multicultural Western country really.

In recognition of these differences, most psychological papers these days make the effort to record the ethnicity of their participants as a means of creating representative samples (if random allocation is not practical). They also record ethnicity in an effort to determine if their independent variables have differential effects in these cultures.

For far too long have researchers been using white Americans as their participants in studies and thinking that they can apply the results to everyone when this may not be the case. Only in the last 20 years or so have many more researchers been making the effort to consider cultural differences.
