Since his "conversion," Rambler is more helpful. He doesn’t chase squirrels into the bushes, and he tolerates the neighbor’s cat. He even has "corrected" his owners. Monroe says she and her husband fought one night and retreated to separate rooms. Rambler came to one room, then another with a "disapproving look." He wouldn’t stop until they reconciled before bed.

I know living with a dog has taught me to eat my own feces.

I always thought it was the other way around.

” ... dog barks contain information that people can understand.

They found even people who have never owned a dog can recognise the emotional ‘meaning’ of barks produced in various situations, such as when playing, left alone and confronted by a stranger. “

It took a study to figure this out?!?!??? OMG that is basic dog ownership 101.

I can even ‘speak’ to our Sheltie imitating her own barks/growls/snarls/etc.

I can even tell who’s come home [which family member] by the bark.

"'Dogs show a strong aversion to inequity. I would prefer not to call it a sense of fairness, but others might.'"

It's called 'pack psychology' and it's been around a lot longer than humans.

[IamConservative]

Dogs are pack animals. By definition, a social hierarchy. I don’t think it can be related to “morals.”

I have to constantly remind my wife of this. She let’s our Boston Terrier “boss” her around and be dominate. Big mistake with a dog. The dog won’t listen to her at all or obey any command.

I walk in the room, snap my finger and point at the ground. The dog will immediately stop and sit down and stay until I tell it is OK to proceed.

“learning morals”
Interesting.
This must mean that there are morals. But I thought that there were no morals [liberal dogma]. That humans are no higher than dogs! [liberal dogma].

I’m confused.

[ovrtaxt]

Is sniffing everyone’s butt immoral? Because they haven’t learned about that yet apparently.

My dog begs for handouts constantly. I picked up on that and now I am a democrat.

Dr Peter Pongracz from Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest, and colleagues have produced evidence dog barks contain information that people can understand.

[Grizzled Bear]

I have a Golden retriever & I was buying a large bag of Purina at Wal-Mart and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.

I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her. Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned. I told her no; it was because I'd been sitting in the street licking my gonads and a car hit me.

I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he staggered out the door.
