On Stuff You Should Know there is an episode on How do Dogs Perceive Time. I knew how my own crazy dog perceived time, but not dogs in general so I thought it would be interesting to listen up and learn. Not that a dog could actually give the speakers (2 men) any first hand knowledge. These guys were dog owners, which helps. The ultimate conversation ended up being about conditioning.
I know that’s true because my crazy dog - like alot of other dogs - knows exactly when to expect me to walk in the door. I don’t usually have a set routine or schedule but lately for the past 5 weeks, I have had a routine and my little fur ball is always waiting for me when I get home. The question is to me, does she wait there the whole time or instinctively know when to come to the front door to wait for her Mommy.
Although this podcast didn’t lead me to want to listen to any more ranting on dog behavior it did produce this question my my mind... Wouldn’t it be something grand if we could get the same kind of gratifying loyalty from our human loved ones?
Ciao Y’all
