Interesting info on the nonverbal communication. That is how I primarily communicate with Basja (and people for that matter). She picks up facial and small hand gestures quicker than the verbal command.

That is an interesting article ... I didn't realize chimps didn't have the same ability to understand hand gestures.

Also, I would like to have that job

That is interesting. I should let them use Huntley, that would screw up their findings, totally mercenary, would take food from anybody, stranger or not. On anther note, if Mr. Hare wanted to see how I think, I would not at all object.

I would love to have that job too Bren...

The comparison to primates was what I thought was so interesting...

I wish they had this program back when we toured Duke. I would have asked to watch some of it.
That is pretty wild that they believe humans have helped evolutionize dogs and their intelligence.

I know for a fact Daisy wouldn't. She trusts no one but me. Could throw their findings too.
