28 Santa-Approved Dog Science Articles
28 Santa-Approved Dog Science ArticlesHere are 28 of my favorite dog science pieces of 2014. A few themes stand out, and I hope they carry into 2015:
Our bond with dogs is in our hearts, heads, and obituaries.
Pay attention to dog welfare, whether it’s fear, appearances, or the beloved ‘guilty look.’
When asked, dogs choose the journey, not just the treat at the end.
There’s a good case for banning breed bans. Sadly, Dr. Laura isn’t up on the latest research.
Not all dog professionals (or dog products) are created equal. Expert opinions are informed.
Dogs are not only phat, they are increasingly fat. Better to be just phat.
