If you had a trillion dollars you couldn't create a device that could do 25% of what dogs can do medically and technologically. Dogs are the most advance technology humans have, and we've had them for 15k years.

That’s why they can detect cancers and other diseases.. I actually don’t like dogs very much, because their owners don’t train them so they jump up and I have been knocked down.

But dogs are working animals and the reason that they were domesticated is that they have a purpose and it comes from their unusual abilities to sense things. Horses are the same way, and cats - only marginally domesticated - also have that ability. So that’s why God gave us these three species to help us.

I just wish my shoe could detect their landmines.

They needed a study to find out what dog owners have known all along.

I miss my dog. Lost her yr and half ago. Can’t get another one because I don’t want to outlive her, living her alone.

Human faces are quite sensitive to IR but most people don’t notice it until they stand in front of a campfire.

I decided to see if I could replicate their results.

I cooked a pepperoni pizza and put it on the floor next to a frozen pizza. I turned out the lights and opened the door and let in The Little Dog.

He decided the cooked pizza was too hot so he let it cool down while he crunched through the frozen pizza. After a few minutes, he also ate the cooked pizza.

My findings?

The Little Dog is a big pig.

Where’s my Nobel Prize?

I need the money to buy more pizza. That big pig ate all my pizza.

Scientists have discovered what they describe as an "entirely new sense" in dogs...

The only thing "new" is the discovery.
The dogs have had it and scientists only claim it's a "new sense" simply because they've finally found out about it.

Supreme arrogance.

Lund University should study my cat's skinny butt, because it is always parked in the warmest spot in the house.

Same with cats. Cats are special in their own ways that any cat owner will be aware of. And some idiot that’s never been owned by one will conduct some dumbass study and publish a paper on what everyone else has known for centuries.

I don’t think it’s fair to call him a pig. If food hits the floor it’s fair game.

when my dog passed away I had to relearn that you have to pick up food when you drop it. Because while the dog was in charge it was never around long enough to pick up.

Months after a very bad bruise on my arm, s and with the scab having falling off, my cat sniffed it and made a face like he just smelled the most disgusting thing in the world.

It looked and smelled fine to me.

I wonder what was going on underneath the skin

There are dogs on death row. And I am sure the amount of love you can give him or her in the years that you are here would make the dog very happy.
