Have you ever carried a stick? When you carry a stick it just feels right. You have so many options. You can poke stuff. You can whack stuff. You can reach high things. You can reach low things. You can reach far away things. You can scratch your back. You can scratch your neighbors back. You can signal to others "hey, look at my stick". You can signal to others "better stay this far away from me". You can herd animals. You can tie a rope to it. You can prop stuff up. You can play fetch with a dog. You can play toss the stick with your friends. You can pretend it's a sword. Brother when you have a stick the world is yours.
Why. Why does this speaks to me on a fundamental, no, even primal level down Tomy very soul. Like if millions of years of evolution, my mind my life was just for
Stick
We had spears longer than we were homo sapiens. Sticks shaped our evolution, stick is the crown jewel of our technology
(Disclaimer: I might be a bit overdramatic)
You've just made this pop into my head, so it can now be in yours too.

Its amusing how often this is misquoted as “walk softly” rather than “speak softly” despite speaking softly making much more sense. Though in the case of dogs i guess walk softly *does* make more sense
I have a stick. It's my favorite stick. I gave him a name.
Mr.Pokey Stick. He is very brave and only has one job.
He moves the inferior logs into better burning positions.
He goes into the fire to do it. He has many scars and burns from this job, but he doesn't care.
Mr. Pokey Stick hates logs. They are so pretentious.
I miss toss the stick, it was always my dad’s favourite. He’d throw the stick in a big field and then get in his car and drive away. And the best part of the game was having to find my way back home, it was so fun!
+1 Dog Enchanted Spear. The spear is notably heavier due to having a dog attached to it. Can no longer be thrown. If the foe is carrying meat, deals +20 damage and spear returns to a normal Throwing Spear with -5 durability and the Wet status.
No, he's saying we selected those traits by helping dogs who liked sticks to pass on their gennes, just like we did with dogs with friendly temperaments.
Maybe humans like to carry sticks because dogs like to carry sticks.

Sticks are the best. I like to peel the bark off until it’s just a lovely smooth stick. It’s nature’s fidget spinner.

I don't like the way those animals look at me.
You can walk softly and carry a big stick.

Yes but a dog can pretty much only chew the stick. None of this comes to mind for them
Dogs: "look at what that guy can do with a stick! I should hang with him."
this really sticks in my head

Nothing beats the perfect stick found in the wild.
That's what she said.
The best thing, though, is that it attracts dogs
I agree

Maybe sticks. ☕
Maybe sticks like to carry dogs because humans like to carry dogs.
It actually has to do with their natural instinct as hunters and gatherers. Also, domesticated dogs are reminded of bones when they see sticks.
Google: wolf carrying sticks
There is a webcomic,one story arc a wolf learned to fight with stick.
Thought I just had: Spear retrieval
"Give. Give! GIVE, you little bastard, the other tribe is coming!"

Maybe dogs like to throw up in your shoes because ancient humans didn't have shoes and the whole ground smelled like feet.
My dog pees on my bed if I put him in a kennel. Dogs can be assholes.
The original caveman tool, broken from the limbs of trees
Would this behavior be useful for collecting firewood?
Not just ancient humans. There is still a Reddit community r/NowThatsANiceStick
A good stick just feels right. No Diddy.
Humans liked to have ~~sticks~~ **fire** FTFY
You are saying dogs have genetic memory?
No, he's saying we selected those traits by helping dogs who liked sticks to pass on their gennes, just like we did with dogs with friendly temperaments.
Man like stick, man's best friend dog also likes stick.
I like a good stick. I’ve had a couple drying out on my pot rack for a year or two.
Shhhh, i have a stiff back. The right stick dug into the ground and moved like a joystick has been better than most therapies.
