Hmmm that's a strong claim.  The common ancestor of humans and dogs are less
than a tenth of a gigayear back.  That was enough time to evolve both modern
dogs and beasts capable of discovering general relativity.  

If you meant running a dog under conditions that disallow genetic drift,
that might have missed the point of speeding up the sim.
