This is really fascinating!

A study conducted at Kyoto University found that dogs are capable of what scientists call third-party social evaluation, meaning they can observe how a stranger interacts with their owner and use that information to make character judgments.

The Experiment:
Dogs watched their owner struggle to open a container while asking for help.
A stranger either helped, refused, or stayed neutral.
Later, all strangers offered the dog a treat.

Key Result:
Dogs were significantly more likely to reject treats from the person who refused to help their owner—even though the person had done nothing directly to the dog.

Dogs assess social interactions and make moral judgments based on observation.
They are not just loyal — they are socially intelligent, with the ability to detect fairness, cooperation, and intent.
When someone mistreats their human, dogs remember, and may respond with distrust or avoidance.

Today is K9 Veterans Day. Let's honor those brave dogs who have and are serving alongside their Soldier partners.

Dogs that love their jobs! It takes much hard work to get to this point in training, on both the dogs and trainers parts.

Due to the fact we are having to move unexpectedly we are looking to try and rehome one of our girls, Deli. She is 5 years old and not spayed. She has not been housebroke, but she would do fine with a doggy door available. Deli would do better in a home without small children as she's not had any exposure to small kids and I don't think she'd do well with the busyness of little ones. Deli has a sensitive stomach so we have her on a limited ingredient dog food but even with that she gets the occasional stomach upset. She is a very sweet, loving girl that would be a great inside/outside dog for anyone but I don't think it would take much to get her fully house trained. She also gets along with other dogs, but we have no idea how she would be with cats or any other small animal.
If you think Deli would be a possible fit for you, please DM me!

A big thank you to ALL Veterans!
