[edit] Sacred Baboons keep wild dogs as pets

I just saw on the National Geographic channel how a tribe of Hamadryas baboons steal puppies from a wild dog litter and raise them as "pets", benefiting from their company and loyalty much as humans do: To protect the tribe from other wild dogs, and to play with the young. Anyone else know about this? I think this should be added to the article somewhere. As far as I know they would be the only non-human animal to keep dogs as pets! --Rcgy (talk) 17:51, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
