Did anyone consult the pet pychic on this? I can't read a dogs mind so how can I know what he is thinking or how? All I know is that they do think. My dog goes to his toybox and rifles through the toys choosing one that he feels in the mood for, Is this thinking? Sure. Or maybe he just imagined it.
Of course they think! Here is an example of 'Dog Property Laws' as copied from my vet's newsletter:
If I like it, it's mine
If it's in my mouth, it's mine.
If I can take it from you, it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
If I'm chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.
If it just looks like mine, it's mine.
If I saw it first, it's mine.
If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
If it's broken, it's yours.
Surely all the new puppy owners can relate! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

He can understand some concepts even when there is no evidence of prior learning but we should not get carried away about this.
A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down. - Robert Benchley
In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog. - Edward Hoagland
