by These police officers of Cʜɪɴᴀ show amazing discipline by standing in line for food with bowls in their mouths. A trained ᴅᴏɢ can do amazing things like: Having learned sɴɪFFɪɴɢ Fᴏʀ ʙᴏᴍʙs or lighting on/off, it’s not hard to think that ᴅᴏɢs in Cʜɪɴᴀ could behave this way.
The photo below of Finnish Border Guard ᴅᴏɢs from the 1940s seems to confirm this ability. This image goes viral on the internet and makes everyone think about humans. Dᴏɢ enthusiasts have been saying for years: Dᴏɢ is smarter than most humans.
Over the past decade, dog behavior and intelligence have been extensively studied, with numerous experiments showing that dogs are capable of surprisingly complex feats of social intelligence and emotional sensitivity. Overall, psychologist and Dᴏɢ ʀᴇsᴇᴀʀᴄʜer Stanley Coren estimates that the intelligence of the average Dᴏɢ is about as highly developed as a 2.5-year-old baby.
So far, ʀᴇsᴇᴀʀᴄʜ has suggested that ᴅᴏɢs can read our cues, show an emotional connection with their owners, and even show ᴊᴇᴀʟᴏᴜsʏ. Studies show that the smartest ᴅᴏɢ people can learn hundreds of words. Perhaps these abilities were shaped by evolution.
For thousands of years, we have chosen animals that are best suited to coexist with humans. But since the area is still new, people always discover amazing things. “Most labs have historically invested in rodent and monkey models,” says Gregory Barnes, his MRI scan expert at Emory.
“But ᴅᴏɢ is a unique animal, and in many ways I think it’s one of the best for understanding social behavior.” Using new technologies such as MRI and carefully designed behavioral experiments, a small number of laboratories around the world have examined Dᴏɢ ᴘsʏᴄʜᴇ and found that Dᴏɢ ᴘsʏᴄʜᴇ is much smarter than many realize. turned out to be
