I mean, technically capsaicin CAN kill humans. But it's pretty unlikely anything would naturally evolve enough capsaicin to do so, especially on a less hostile planet than earth. The potentially deadly peppers we have are all selectively bred for uber-spiciness (from what I've read, it would still take a ridiculous amount of the spiciest pepper to actually kill)
You'd think someone would tell the other peoples of the universe that humans are quite strange about our predatory animals. We'll look at a tiger and go "no, it's too much of a baby for us to let go extinct, just look at the stripy, floofy, murder mittens, too cute" despite the fact that we are on their menu and we haven't even remotely domesticated them. We go way harder for the predatory species we HAVE gotten chummy with.
I reckon that domestication of wolves to dogs was a purely accidental, or fateful encounter. One injured wolf, and a human that was either too dumb, or too kind, and took pity on it, the wolf reciprocated, and boom. Maybe the roles were reversed. Maybe they needed one another to survive.
the only reason why we not yet domesticated any predatory animal bigger that us was because we doesn't have enough food to keep them a live and not because we afraid of them or because it was dangerous to us, but more about not enough food for them to eat
@@friendlyroughai3319there's been too few millionaires or billionaires to keep a big enough population both fed and entertained enough to start a separate gene pool from the wild ones for a few generations. At least for now, might actually have the big predators domesticated in a couple hundred more years if humanity continues to improve quality of life or even just brings the rest of the world to the level of Europe or the USA.
Fun fact did you guys know that snorting huffy you know his dogs make when they're playing is actually akin to laughter! Those fluffy bastard they're laughing out of excitement from playing with us!!!
This makes me appreciate and love the fluffy doggos! (While tho not a dog person myself, I do love being licked and playing with dogs... I just don't want to personally own one)
Huffs and snorts: defo doggo-laughter. My two terriers do it all the time whilst playing or having lovies (lovies: lots and LOTS of back scratches, brushes, ear tickles, etc, et al). One of them refuses to go to bed at night until she has had a good ten minutes of "lovies"... all the while there's snuffles, and snorts, and huffs of absolute bliss coming from her.
Why have I never seen a doggo HFY story before!? The was a nice read. Also, at the end the Captain reminds me of a stereotypical space pirate captain. Sitting on her chair, looking out into the galaxy, with a group of highly trained killers behind her, and a huge murder beast by her side.
'We're traders.' 'You're going to trade our goods for our lives?' 'What? No! Your goods for our money.' 'And then you'll take our lives!' 'Why do you keep saying that?! No, no, down, Nano.' *'IT'S GONNA KILL US ALL!'*
@@coltaine503 I wasn't sure who that was before you mentioned him, but that would be amazing. Some of the art I saw was some Dantes Inferno/Conan the Barbarian art.
@@1rotzy Frazetta basically defined how Conan looks to us today. There are several scenes from Arnold's first Conan movie copying Frazetta's artwork. I grew up in the time he was at his peak, his artwork on magazines and book covers, and his imagery inspired some of the best-known artists in sci-fi and fantasy.
Caucasian Shepherds were bred to fight off and/or kill wolves, they are huge, between 58.4-76.2 cm tall at the shoulder, for wolves the measures are 80-85 cm at the shoulder, though the wolves are taller on average the Caucasian Shepherd has a much larger head and wider muzzle
I knew a guy some years back, kept three ex-working dogs, this guy had a Turkish Kegal to keep them in line. And a Chihuahua too. The Chihuahua was in charge, and the Kegal was the lieutenant. Gorgeous dogs, but they need a lot of work.
I'd like to point out that dogs are not obligate carnivores (70-90% meat in diet) like cats are, dogs are scavenging omnivores (40-60% meat in diet) like humans are.
There's a scale I forget the name of, but obligate carnivores are 5, and herbivores are 1. All cat species are 5, dogs and bears are 4, and humans are equal to pigs and anchovies at 2.2.
I’m picturing the crew at a spaceport with Nano and other beings are giving them a wide berth and then everyone hears the cries of joy from human children screaming, “Doggie!!!”
@@chongwillson972 and that’s true for today as well. Listen, I’m not only talking combat roles (besides we could come up with some sort of body suit armor for them too. In fact that’s what I’m doing in my own book for them), but just seeing dogs in general in a sci do setting. Think how many times you’ve seen them yourself. Besides this, I can count two moments in all the scifi media I’ve consumed, and one of them may not count because it was a cyborg recreation- actually take that back. Three times.

Read the book Starship Trooper by Heinlein and you'll see how dogs we're portrayed in classic Syfy but it's not in the movie so you got to read the book TH-cam has it on audio book also
9:25 "You heard all those snorts and sneezes. That's her way of saying she's only playing, she's not out to hurt anyone." *distant Achoo!* "Dogs often do it during much rougher, more wild play sessions to say; Hey this is fun and all, but let's not let it escalate into a fight."
I'd say that the author really missed an opportunity here. After the Chekhov's Gun of the spicy secretion is mentioned, a discordant horror break from the soft narrative tone was primed to have taken place sometime down the line. Nano's efforts during the defense of the ship could have been elaborated upon from the perspective of the aliens, in all their terrible glory. Then, in a twist, she could then shy away in pain from the heat upon chomping on a Scorcid. This would have prompted the captain to warn the crew of that capsaicin substance produced by the species. This, in turn, could have culminated in the Deathworlders dressing the outlaw plant people (like hunted big game) in the aftermath of the fighting and performing culinary experiments with the remains. Special collective fondness for the "highly dangerous" secretions could have been shown and, as far as the rest of the crew would be concerned, this would clearly illustrate why the humans were the dominant species over the previously far more terrifying four-legged predator. This could have culminated in more empathy for the pup as she would make more sense to them than the humans because she was vulnerable in a manner more akin to how they are. This would have maintained the mystique of humans as a dangerous species while also giving a clearly defined reason for the crew to have begun warming up to her in the end.
Actually, I would do you one better! An entire story line revolving around Nano the doggo and her daily life on the merchant ship. One or more chapters could then be dedicated to a new human crew member bringing on a Norwegian forest cat and watching as both Nano the doggo and the crew dealing with that particular furry little asshole lol
The one reminded me of the random topic Rslash went on about. He talked about when we actually contact aliens, or biggest export is gonna be dogs, since dogs love anyone. I don’t remember if he brought it up, but if that does happen, there’s be no more homeless, abandoned dogs, or almost no more at least.
I remember reading a story in the 1980s in the Azimov magazine about a cat that was psychically bonded with the human pilot of a spacecraft. There was a whole series and it was amazing.
3 story ideas involving animals Fox: aliens watch as 4 humans are playing with a fox by seeing who can grab the toy from its mouth. Pitbull: a captain highers a bouncer who brings a dog on board, medium size it was but even from the captain powerful eye sight she could see the dense muscles inside of its frame. Very calm it was and constantly wanting pets but when a spy got on board and threatened her life, “Lily” tackled the foe and ripped him to shreds. Saint Bernard: an alien mechanic goes down to the Ned bay to get healed after a major injury during a repair attempt meets with human doctor and the largest dog he has ever seen. It at nearly 3/4s his height and seem to be 3 times as heavy. The thing looked at him with what could be described as sadness but the tong sticking out betrayed hits face and around its neck seemed to be a sizable barrel.
I like the ideas, but... Why would the Saint Bernard have barrel on it's neck still? It's not like we use them in that capacity very much any more. If at all.
@@samuelevans738 because if I remember correctly Saint Bernards would carry medicinal products in a barrel around their neck so they could help their master if they get hurt or cold in harsh environments
@@jackmack4181 I mean, I know that much, but do people still do that? One would think that by the time humans make contact with extraterrestrials, (assuming we haven't already) we would have probably gone and stopped using dog breeds for that kind of stuff.
@@samuelevans738 Considering that the brits still have a monarchy by tradition, how they still use double decker busses. How various other nations cling to certain acts because they always have. I see no reason we would stop using dogs for things.
I absolutely LOVED this story. Nano sounds like a great pupper. As for the Aliens that nade their own capcasin... they are lucky they are hunted down for a "taste test"
Caucasian Shepherds are from the Republic of Georgia and are known gor their size, cute fluffball puppies, and extreme aggression toward anyone who threatens their flocks or owners. Also, Nano is a common Georgian woman's name (a variant of Nino), but calling a big dog "tiny" is a hilarious double meaning too! 😆
Dogs are such pure spirits. Unlike humans, deception is not in their nature. What you see is what you get. Since honesty is indispensable in friendship, its no wonder they have become man's best friend. If only humans weren't so devious and deceitful by nature.
Reminds me of my neighbor's dog a Belgian Mal. He is a cop and the dog is his (now retired) K9 partner that lives in his house. Dog LOVES getting petted and played with by everyone. But on command is all business and ready to protect or attack as needed. Actually the protect part needs no command, as it was trained to react on its own to aggression against his human partner.
"Capsaicin, you say?" Proceeds to hunt the corsairs through two star systems to pluck their spicy needles. One human was seen eating a strange fruit, but no one dared to question
Dogs are one of if not the only type of domesticated animal to understand pointing and look at where you're pointing. Most others are more interested in the finger itself.
Aliens with a built-in hot sauce dispenser, you say? Too bad they had to scare them off. And yes, mutts are humans' best friends. My Rottweiler (Honey) would maul an aggressor badly for transgressing against her pack.
Well this was wonderfully wholesome :) Now I want to read/write about aliens encountering service and/or therapy dogs. Or dogs with other jobs. How would they respond to a big terrifying soldier with a big terrifying dog that's sole job is to give them kisses and cuddles when they get a PTSD flashback? Or an alien stuck in some sort of natural disaster only to find themself face-to-face with a deathworld predator barking its head off, only to discover it was excitedly calling over more deathworlders to help rescue them?
Out of all the dog breeds, the Caucasian Shepherd would probably be the biggest shock to the system. They've been bred to kill wolves and chase off bears to protect herds of animals...
Ha, big dog, I wonder what harmless breed will sow comedic terror among: NetNarrator: *Caucasian Shepherd* ABANDON SHIP, ABANDON SHIP, WOMEN AND CHILDREN LAST
My uncle had a Newfoundland mix. Nano would've approved. Layla is a sweet, calm, derpy floofball of a mutt... Until an home intruder opened the door to my little cousin's bedroom one night. (gotta steal a little girl's Switch, how manly!) He was a big dude, he saw the dog coming, he was holding a screwdriver... and he STILL got his ass mauled. I think the cops said he flatlined twice in the ER from blood loss and trauma. He was a bandage mummy for at least three months. Layla gets all the ear rubs, now. The police officers jokingly call her "Protecto-Mutt", and sneak her treats at the park. Dogs are a bit like humans. We wouldn't dream of hurting anyone... Unless you endanger our pack. Then you get got!
@@brokenhaloking Okay. I had heard of the Russian Bear Dog (I swear, those things are bigger than a St. Bernard) the German Shepherd, and Australian Shepherd, but never Caucasian Shepherd, so I wasn't sure if the author was just being PC.
@@nocount7517 Saint Bernards are bigger and chunkier than the Caucasian Shepbard, but the Shepbard has a larger, more powerful jaw, where as the Bernard has more.powerful legs
Human are the masters of their home world,they didn't eliminate the dagerous predators but also keeping their numbers healthy,not to mention they are exceptionally good at making animals join their warpack,a process which they call "domestication".They domesticated herbivores for food and labor,predators for hunting partners,pest control and even as pets,yes they have predators as pets.While the human senses are not powerful they can easily make up for that with the help of their animal companion,they have full control over it to the point that with only a single command the quiet and obedient pet will turn into a deadly predator to whoever they pointed at.
Nano is a big sweety. The poor aliens think dogs are bad. We keep lions, bears ( not polar bears to my knowledge but we would try) cats of all kinds. Maincoon and Savannah s and cheetahs have all been used to hunt with. We are the monsters that make pets out of monsters
Reminds me of my old doggo, a blue lab named Blitz. She had another name at first, but if you tried to run and she didn't like it you would get blitzed.
Dogs are not exclusively meat eaters! They're semi omnivorous, they have a complex protein in their stomach that allows them to digest and even partially absorb nutrients from plant matter. It's healthy and common for dogs to have some fruit every once in a while, however they still need a diet of at least 90% - 95% meat to really be healthy.
And if anything/anyone kills the floofy doggie, the owner will stop at nothing until they have turned the creature/person into a fine paste on the...Well everything around them. We love our animals and if anyone hurts them, we will lose our shit.
Don't tell Vega about cats. Dogs are actually just lazy wolves because before we tamed wolves they would follow behind us collecting scraps eventually they just got brave enough to come forward and we fed them and then they started to love us and boom the doggo was born
I once read an article on prisons in the USSR in the toughest work prisons. Caucasian Shepards were trained as guards in the event of an escape the dogs were released and returned a couple of days later. After that they just assumed the escaped prisoners were dead
It's stories like this make me really miss Davis, my sister's Boxer. The Boxer that though it was a bunny... unless you acted in any way the dog thought was agressive towards my sister.
Hmmm It'd be a heartbreak for sure, but a Hachiko like history in this setting would be great... Great narration, bty, I revisit this history time to time, and it doesn't get old.
considder these aliens havent done something like taming a ravinous animal before or seen one kept as a friendly pet even as a concept- with that, if youre not sure why theyre concerned ... look up a caucasion shepard- theyre very large fluffy dogs. I think sometimes theyre nicknamed as bear dogs. If you see it and dont get why a foreign entity would be concerned idk what else would help. GOod doggo but there is some good merit to WHY
I wanted to say: no no no, they're not exclusively carnivorous, they're omnivores! Like us they'll eat most anything. No it's _cats_ you're thinking of, the _other_ predator species we domesticated.
Alien: "Surrender or we will sting you with capsaicin"
Humans: "capsaicin you say..." *opens mouth*
Alian: "the fuck?"
Humans: "We're waiting"
They sound so yum!
Great.. now I'm hungry
I mean, technically capsaicin CAN kill humans. But it's pretty unlikely anything would naturally evolve enough capsaicin to do so, especially on a less hostile planet than earth. The potentially deadly peppers we have are all selectively bred for uber-spiciness (from what I've read, it would still take a ridiculous amount of the spiciest pepper to actually kill)

Aliens with a built-in hot sauce dispenser, you say? Too bad they had to scare them off. And yes, mutts are humans' best friends. My Rottweiler (Honey) would maul an aggressor badly for transgressing against her pack.
Well this was wonderfully wholesome :) Now I want to read/write about aliens encountering service and/or therapy dogs. Or dogs with other jobs. How would they respond to a big terrifying soldier with a big terrifying dog that's sole job is to give them kisses and cuddles when they get a PTSD flashback? Or an alien stuck in some sort of natural disaster only to find themself face-to-face with a deathworld predator barking its head off, only to discover it was excitedly calling over more deathworlders to help rescue them?
can you give me a link to these stories? i want to read them
@@GreenDude_Gaming I haven't seen stories like this. I would like to, though. Above is a brainstorm. Sorry to get your hopes up like that :/
@@seatbelttruck :(
When we go to the stars for good, there's no doubt we'll have dogs along for the ride
Good doggos get ear-scritchies.
Out of all the dog breeds, the Caucasian Shepherd would probably be the biggest shock to the system. They've been bred to kill wolves and chase off bears to protect herds of animals...
Fun fact: giving dogs a small amount of seedless watermelon (the red parts, to be specific) can be good for them!
Well, me too. Funny thing, that... ☺
i’ve always enjoyed your videos and this one in particular, so I thought I would come back to this one and leave a little something.
I know it’s not much, but I just wanted to give you something in return for all the literal hours of enjoyment I had watching this channel.
Thank you!
Plant based.. capsaicin... Fruity heads.... Yeah I kinda think the humans will eat them
Jalapeño men shall be harvested
harvest the pepper men
@Overlord99762 im picturing we open them up like an aztec blood ritual but for making food
This story made me miss my dog so much.
I love you Puddin! You were the best dog I have ever had the privilege of being friends with.
9:23 That "ATCHOO!" was incredibly well timed !!
I listened to this story 4 or 5 times now. Each time I get the warm fuzzes. I love having dogs and this story sums them up real well.
Ha, big dog, I wonder what harmless breed will sow comedic terror among:
NetNarrator: *Caucasian Shepherd*
ABANDON SHIP, ABANDON SHIP, WOMEN AND CHILDREN LAST
Yeeaaa... A believable mascot for a Merc band.
@@singletona082 Not even mascot, but member of said band.
My uncle had a Newfoundland mix. Nano would've approved. Layla is a sweet, calm, derpy floofball of a mutt...
Until an home intruder opened the door to my little cousin's bedroom one night. (gotta steal a little girl's Switch, how manly!)
He was a big dude, he saw the dog coming, he was holding a screwdriver... and he STILL got his ass mauled.
I think the cops said he flatlined twice in the ER from blood loss and trauma. He was a bandage mummy for at least three months.
Layla gets all the ear rubs, now. The police officers jokingly call her "Protecto-Mutt", and sneak her treats at the park.
Dogs are a bit like humans. We wouldn't dream of hurting anyone... Unless you endanger our pack. Then you get got!
"Caucasian Shepherd" I do hope that's just the breed, or at least a translator error on the bird girl's end.
It's a Russian breed used to hunt bears, big big doggies.
@@brokenhaloking Okay. I had heard of the Russian Bear Dog (I swear, those things are bigger than a St. Bernard) the German Shepherd, and Australian Shepherd, but never Caucasian Shepherd, so I wasn't sure if the author was just being PC.
@@nocount7517 From the Caucasus mountain range in Russia (as brokenhaloking said) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_Shepherd_Dog
Do a Google on them. They are huge. Mostly used as livestock guardians. They are not Russian as such but from countries south of Russia.
@@nocount7517 Saint Bernards are bigger and chunkier than the Caucasian Shepbard, but the Shepbard has a larger, more powerful jaw, where as the Bernard has more.powerful legs
Human are the masters of their home world,they didn't eliminate the dagerous predators but also keeping their numbers healthy,not to mention they are exceptionally good at making animals join their warpack,a process which they call "domestication".They domesticated herbivores for food and labor,predators for hunting partners,pest control and even as pets,yes they have predators as pets.While the human senses are not powerful they can easily make up for that with the help of their animal companion,they have full control over it to the point that with only a single command the quiet and obedient pet will turn into a deadly predator to whoever they pointed at.
Who's a god dog?
WHO'S A GOOD DOGGO!!!?
Does the Xeno have Chile (spicy pepper)? Time to eat Xenos
Personally, I was hoping Gustave would smile at them and tell them how tasty they look.
'well shit son, you could make an absolute bundle selling that stuff in human space. We were kinda looking forward to a nice curry actually.'
@@robertcrawshaw9978 Spanish
I have spent the last 5 days binge watching these (and similar others) hfy stories. Gotta say, this is my absolute favourite!
Hey! We finally taught the aliens to pack bond! Whata twist!!
Nano is a big sweety.
The poor aliens think dogs are bad. We keep lions, bears ( not polar bears to my knowledge but we would try) cats of all kinds. Maincoon and Savannah s and cheetahs have all been used to hunt with.
We are the monsters that make pets out of monsters
Reminds me of my old doggo, a blue lab named Blitz. She had another name at first, but if you tried to run and she didn't like it you would get blitzed.
This is why I love dogs...but also hate them equally. They are the most adorable bastards ever but they do the dumbest things sometimes
This has made me so happy
"She´s not out to hurt anyone" *demonic noises in the backround*
Why do hear “Boss Music”?!
Kinda reminds me of the motto for the Irish Wolfhound 'Gentle when stroked, fierce when provoked'
out of all the stories i have heard . this is one of my favorite. every time i come a cross it i have to hear it.
Dogs are not exclusively meat eaters! They're semi omnivorous, they have a complex protein in their stomach that allows them to digest and even partially absorb nutrients from plant matter. It's healthy and common for dogs to have some fruit every once in a while, however they still need a diet of at least 90% - 95% meat to really be healthy.
So true the dogs i grew up with loved apples. So much they stole them from the tree we had in the backyard.
Me and my doggy play "catch the annoying hands" too :)
Plant aliens that make their own capsaicin? Sounds like a tasty salad to me >:)
I looked up Nano’s breed and yeah…such a sweet baby! 😍
anyone else hear that earthrending sneeze at around 9:26 ?
Wholesome and terrifying, yep that defines dogs :)
Background (off screen) : ahhhhhhhcuuuu
Doggos special powers. Dopey and extremely lovable.
9.30 : sneeze in the distance
And if anything/anyone kills the floofy doggie, the owner will stop at nothing until they have turned the creature/person into a fine paste on the...Well everything around them.
We love our animals and if anyone hurts them, we will lose our shit.
Okay we definitely need more doggo HFY stories
OMG i love that "little doggo" !! more story with spacedogs pelase!
But this breed is 7 feet tall if you stood them on their hind legs
Don't tell Vega about cats.
Dogs are actually just lazy wolves because before we tamed wolves they would follow behind us collecting scraps eventually they just got brave enough to come forward and we fed them and then they started to love us and boom the doggo was born
The plant things are just a full on meal for spicy lovers. Fruit AND spicy sauce makes a decent meal (though I prefer to not eat spicy stuff)
Capsaicin ?
Hold up. I'm fetching my ramen first, and then we'll fight.
I once read an article on prisons in the USSR in the toughest work prisons. Caucasian Shepards were trained as guards in the event of an escape the dogs were released and returned a couple of days later. After that they just assumed the escaped prisoners were dead
I've been looking for a HFY story about humans' relationship with dogs. This is the one.
Never clicked as fast before love your voice looking forward to more hunter or huntress stories
Same
That was rather excellent!
9:29 lol
9:29 *ACHOO*
It's stories like this make me really miss Davis, my sister's Boxer. The Boxer that though it was a bunny... unless you acted in any way the dog thought was agressive towards my sister.
I'm petting my golden retriever doggo right now
Hmmm
It'd be a heartbreak for sure, but a Hachiko like history in this setting would be great...
Great narration, bty, I revisit this history time to time, and it doesn't get old.
I wanna see a wolf looking alien Meeting doggo
It could be possible in the story/series "Sexy Space Babes" though I'm not far enough in to know for sure if it happens
@TheRedknight
it would be like if alien's had very human looking pets...
which would be VERY creepy...
9:29
Bless you
considder these aliens havent done something like taming a ravinous animal before or seen one kept as a friendly pet even as a concept- with that, if youre not sure why theyre concerned ... look up a caucasion shepard- theyre very large fluffy dogs. I think sometimes theyre nicknamed as bear dogs. If you see it and dont get why a foreign entity would be concerned idk what else would help.
GOod doggo but there is some good merit to WHY
I wanted to say: no no no, they're not exclusively carnivorous, they're omnivores! Like us they'll eat most anything. No it's _cats_ you're thinking of, the _other_ predator species we domesticated.
I'm glad I decided to catch this one. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
I wonder what the captain would think of cats.
9:29 *sneeze*
Best dawg story I have heard in a while.
Thanks for another great narration
9:29 did i just hear someone sneeze in the background?
Nano: perhaps referring to Robin Williams "Mork and Mindy"? Nano Nano???? 😂😂😂
I just looked at a picture, and I do not regret it
SAME!!!
That plantoid must have sapped his pants XD.
Thank You for the reading
