Czech dog

“If dogs could talk, perhaps we’d find it just as hard to get along with them as we do people”, writes Karel Capek, a noted Czech literary figure of the 1920’s and 1930’s. He was a novelist, a playwright, an essayist, a journalist, a writer of philosophical essays, a travel writer and he wrote a book entitled "Dášenka cili život štenete" or The life of a Puppy, the biography of Dasenka, his Jack Russell terrier.
Interestingly enough he invented the word “robot” meaning a non-human intelligent being. The word is derived from the Czech verb “robotovat” meaning “to work” and in his science-fiction books such as R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robot) he addresses the aspects of mass production, atomic weapons and non-human intelligent beings long before this kind of genre was officially established. Because of his outspoken and provocative writing, he was on the Gestapo “most wanted list” and even though he was offered an exile in England, he turned this life-saving opportunity down and chose to remain in his country. Shortly after a part of Bohemia was annexed to the Third Reich, Capek died on Christmas day 1938 of pneumonia at the age of 48.

I do not agree with his quote because I fundamentally believe dogs are nicer than people.
