    One of my greatest childhood memories was seeing my Italian grandmother meet an 8 ft. Boa constrictor. This was in the late 70s prior to the information age. She had so many misconceptions at first. After first convincing her to even allow the snake in the snake in the house, to then come close enough to get a good look at it. The first thing she said was "Wow! It had such pretty colors!" After a few minutes she was brave enough too touch it. And in a surprised voice she exclaimed "Ohh! It's not slimy!" Seeing this 60 plus year old woman be brave enough and open enough to learn and change her preconceived notions with delight in her eyes is a core memory I will always hold dear.

    Dogs are trained to keep their right shoulder to the outside of the human's left leg, walking in step, just touching. This is so that the right-hand weapon is not hampered. Pack hunters of different species cooperating to mutual benefit.

      ​@Shadowkey392 True. Teach your wolf as you wish, and in your native language.
      I'd have ridden a horse down the isle, doing a well practiced four footed slide and a hop onto the dias, long before I mentioned the worms in their dung.
      Also, horses are mounted from the left. This to heft weapons over the saddle.

    I'm vehemently opposed to interstellar pet adoption. It's a myth that cats aren't plotting for World domination. The Cat Distribution System shows a clear pattern toward that end. Humanity has evolved some coping strategies, in dealing with cats. However, if the system goes interstellar, there's no telling where it might end. For one thing, any alien species from bunny size and down will be goners.

    I can imagine the reaction the aliens would have to some of the more ... exotic pets. I mean you have the mundane pets like dogs, cats, parrots, parrakeets, corvids, and rodents. The exotic pets like constrictor snakes, ant farms, various insect tanks. Then you have venomous snake handlers, spider and scorpion owners, big cat tamers, and even bear wranglers. Not to mention everyone who raises the various megafauna (horse breeders and cattle ranchers, camel riders, elephant tamers, ect.).

    ehh , i would not call any of the abrahamic fairytales 'mythology' its far to young , and if tracking far to easy to start see how its a patchwork of bits to suit an agenda stolen from older proper mythologies that actually dates back long enough you cant track details only themes of origins
    though i do think the aliens might find it stimulating with the various true mytholgies involving fauna from gaia , from how felines both has their natural abilities used as analogues of abstract matters to reflecting humans own actions , or how canines and the extreme pack aspect of it been used to reflect both the golden rule and the way your own actions will inspire how others treat you
    or how serpents been used for other tales of both chaos and destruction incarnate as much as holders of wisdom and healing etc
