Dogs are also the only non-primate animal to look people in the eyes. This is something Andics, along with other researchers, discovered about a decade ago when he studied the domestication of wolves, which he thought would share that trait. They endeavored to raise wolves like dogs. This is a unique behavior between dogs and humans — dogs seek out eye contact from people, but not their biological dog parents.

I neither fear, nor despise.

I'm sorry, you're right, I seem to have accidentally made a regular person thread. With unforced discussion value and stuff like that. I promise it won't happen again, the next thread I make will be just for you.

i'm being honest here when I say that most "bully" breeds are mentally retarded compared to other dogs. This makes them obedient though.

bulldogs are also kind of top heavy

It helps to have some sort of thesis of your own to sort of go off of.

I admit she's only 5 months old...........but wow.
She literally trips me when I walk. She doesn't walk BESIDE you while holding a toy, she walks diagonally in front of you. So she steps on your feet -__________-

Helps but isn't strictly necessary. I'm simply sharing something interesting.

Not only do dogs seem to love us back, they actually see us as their family. It turns out that dogs rely on humans more than they do their own kind for affection, protection and everything in between.
Honestly though, I could have told you this without throwing a dog in an MRI machine. Speaking of which, where's PETA when you need them? Those animals didn't consent to this.

find the bulldog.... lol  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intelligence_of_Dogs

i might have to take back what i said about the obedience thing, as my experience only comes from pitbulls/staffies  which are pretty average in terms of intelligence

Well damn, it's nice to know that there is something a bit more behind the scenes than just flat out conditioned cupboard love going on. Most animals can be taught/conditioned to display that sort of behaviour but at least in my mind, it's always seemed genuine for dogs. (After I got over the whole, terrified to death of the buggers thing)

I think the term is 'Yeah, Science bitch!' <_<
