Dogs don’t want to be left out

A recent finding by a University of Vienna team shows that dogs have a sense of fairness when it comes to getting treats. If you treat one dog in the presence of another and don’t treat that dog, it knows you did it wrong.  Yep, no surprise there.

And is it just me or is the dog in that article really a werewolf?

  1. Cool article. I wonder if they are also sensing that the experimenter feels guilty about not giving one of them treats. Maybe the experimenter acts a little stressed out when asking the not-to-be-treated dog to shake hands, and that freaks the dog out too.

    Cool article. And yes, that dog looks freakishly like a spawn of satan.
