dog lovers
To all dog lovers out there, like me, here's some interesting piece of article (and do read the comment about it)
http://slate.msn.com/id/2127419/?GT1=7125
Quoting from John Katz: (it's interesting but I am not convinced entirely)
"The reality is, we don't know that much about what dogs think, because they can't tell us. Behaviorists tend to believe that dogs "think" in their own way—in sensory images involving their finely honed instincts. They're not capable of deviousness or spite. They love routine: Nothing seems to make them more comfortable than doing the same thing at the same time in the familiar way, day after day: We snack here, we poop there, we play over here. I am astonished at how little it takes to please them, how simple their lives can be if we don't complicate them." ¶ 3:53 PM
