A new study found that the relationship between humans and canines is even more special than we thought. https://trib.al/BJZT4dU

Something to think about...

In this photo you see two species, a human and a dog. The human has approximately 1 billion neurons in their brain while the canine has appoximately 500 million. This is a comparison of the two species and the silly expectations people place on dogs:

1) Human - Given two plus years to accomplish potty training.
1) Canine - Human wants canine potty trainined in two weeks or they will have to rehome the dog....Please take the diaper off your eight month old human and let them crawl around your floor, lets just see the results....

2) Human - Gives human babies pain relievers and various numbing agents to help appease the pain of teething.
2) Canine - Punished for chewing on things that they find that eases their pain.

3) Human - Encourages young humans to run and play with endless forms of mental and physical stimulation.
3) Canine - “I have got to teach this dog to calm down!!!”

4) Human - Given 20 plus years to complete an education and become a productive member of society.
4) Canine - Expected to behave flawlessly for life after taking just one six week obedience class.

5) Human - Given sick and personal days from work and endless excuses for poor performance.
5) Canine - Expected to perfom perfectly 365 days a year with no questions asked. Canines are also not allowed to feel bad or forget.

6) Human - Expects a pay raise anually for the job they perform.
6) Canine - Humans demand their dog perform better every year without continued education and also don’t believe they should reward the dog for the work they perform.

Canines are used everyday to keep us humans safe in a multitude of ways.
-They are our eyes when ours go dark~
-They are our ears when ours fall silent~
-They are our noses to help find bombs, drugs, cancer, and allergens to keep us safe from harm~
-They are trained to alert us to an oncoming seizure or low blood sugar attack~
-They help find missing victims of natural and man-made disasters~
They protect us from harm everyday, without expecting healthcare, a raise, a title, a better car, a bigger office or one with a view, and….they do this for us all because of their innate desire to please.
Their unconditional love is without bounds.
They deserve that in return and so much more~

Dear human....If you don’t train, don’t complain, you’re to blame.

Confirmation and deposits are crucial for securing a pet sitter, it enables commitment from both parties. For the client this guarantees availability and ensures peace of mind. It allows the sitter to manage their schedule and turn down other potential jobs if necessary. Please avoid the disappointment and complications involved when confirmation and deposit terms are ignored.

Dogs Can Classify Objects by Function, Not Just Appearance

Dogs can do more than just recognize words—they can group objects by how they’re used.

In new research, Gifted Word Learner dogs successfully categorized toys into “fetch” or “tug” groups, even when the toys didn’t share obvious physical similarities.

This showed they weren’t relying on looks but on function, a skill humans also use when learning language.

The results reveal that dogs can form mental representations of object functions, expanding our understanding of canine cognition.

Dogs can judge how good we are at tasks, and female dogs are especially sharp at it 🧠🐶

A study found they paid more attention to people who could open treat containers, showing they can spot skill (especially when food’s involved) 🍖

German Shepherds were top problem-solvers too!
