Dogs Decoded
How smart are dogs, and what makes them such ideal companions?
"Dogs Decoded" reveals the science behind the remarkable bond between humans and their dogs and investigates new discoveries in genetics that are illuminating the origin of dogs—with surprising implications for the evolution of human culture. Other research is proving what dog lovers have suspected all along: Dogs have an uncanny ability to read and respond to human emotions. Humans, in turn, respond to dogs with the same hormone responsible for bonding mothers to their babies. How did this incredible relationship between humans and dogs come to be? And how can dogs, so closely related to fearsome wild wolves, behave so differently?
(I mentioned this in another thread and realized it deserved a thread of its own)
This is the best explanation of dog & human bonding behavior I have ever seen.
Dogs read emotion on your face and like people, they look to right side to understand it best.
Dogs are smarter than monkeys at some human interactions. They understand pointing and monkeys don't.
Three generations of breeding passive foxes domesticated them.
Humans speak dog and generally recognize six types of barks.
One dog knows over 300 words and demonstrates abstract thinking.
. . . just watch it. Education, validation and satisfaction guaranteed.
