My dog and I do think alike from time to time...but he has a completely different philosophy on life;

If you can't eat it or fornicate with it...pee on it.

Life is so much easier for dogs.

Yes.
We’re both semi-feral and won’t obey commands.

“including an alert German shepherd named Celia and a rottweiler called Taylor who loves to eat chicken.”

When I first read that I could have sworn it read “loves to eat children”.

The dog was stealing my baked beans recipes. Had to go with a cat.

Shelton bowed her head and the dog was released. The Samoyed headed straight for the bucket with the circle, suggesting it didn't grasp the concept of "same."

Shelton, you're an idiot. Next time tell the dog what you want instead of just staring at it.

In another trial, researchers tested whether dogs can use pictures as signs to figure out which bucket contains food.

Dogs have eyes. They can see. They aren't as dumb as the researchers.

The two dogs we have now are dumb as door knobs. My old huskey, may she rest in peace, was smarter than most humans and certainly more humane. She knew right from wrong, had emotions, found humor in things, and could figure what needed to be done on her part before proceeding some future event. Oh, my cat's toy mouse is smarter than Hussein.

My Shiba Inu never fails to shock me with his almost human-like actions. One I remember very well was when my boy was just a baby he was in my lap crying because he was hungry and his Mom was upstairs getting his bottle ready. My Shiba Inu came up to my feet looking up at me, and cocked his head and then ran upstairs. He returned moments later with his rubber bone in his mouth. He jumped onto the armrest of the chair and dropped the rubber bone onto the baby’s stomach and then jumped back down again. It’s like he was saying, here Dad, give him my bone, that will get him to stop crying.

In Hauser's lab, researchers are starting their work by testing whether dogs can understand simple communicative gestures, such as pointing to a bucket that has food in it,

This happens every day. I point at the dog dish full of kibble. Dog gives me the doggy equivalent of an exasperated sneer, pointedly looks at the refrigerator, then looks at me. It's as he's saying "The refrigerator, get it moron?"

My dog, of course, is smarter than all other dogs, but we do think alike very often. If we happen to disagree, well, then I win and she sits in the corner—LOL!
