In everday life, it’s great to be greeted by your dog(s) at the door. Nobody adores us like our dog.
But dogs really are a first line of zombie defense. That barking at strangers and barking at things or people that smell funny is an invaluable asset when sorting the dead from the undead and sort of dead. Walking the dog regularly is also good extra cardio for a day when the dead come walking.
Some of you are probably saying that it’s 2013 and the crisis is past. The crisis of a hypothetical threat from an unknown source is never past. That’s the charm of such threats. We can’t prove they don’t exist simply because we have not yet encountered the moaning and shuffling hordes. I say stay on your guard. If you don’t have a dog, get one. If you live someplace where a dog won’t work, ask yourself: Do I really want to live here?
