If you enjoyed the post-human visions of the movie I Am Legend and the book The World Without Us, here's the History Channel with and hour and a half discussion of Life After People:

Synopsis: Like brushing dandruff off your shoulder.

I love the part where the doggie comes running into the house all alone, looking for someone to play with..tail wagging all over... Very Happy

Yeah... the doggie-pocalypse is going on and he doesn't even notice.

The World Without US presents a different view of the fate of the pooches. They'll die out, if they don't interbreed with wolves, even if they do form packs. Simply because they won't be able to compete with the wild canines.

It would be my guess that in the absence of humans maintaining all their selected domestic breeds, dogswould gradually revert back to the true wild forms from whence they came.

That's what the documentary put forward.

The scene inside Prypiat was absolutely eerie. Just twenty years and it's half reverted to nature already.
