A video courtesy of Dognition.
In my research travels across the internet, yesterday I came across this piece that had been aired on CBS back on October 5th.
I came to the video clip after visiting the home page of Dognition, a company that offers a way of learning how your dog sees the world through your dog’s eyes.
Despite the clip only being eight minutes long, it offers incredible evidence of the benefits, to man and dog, of the shared evolution of both species over thousands of years.
Not going to say any more because I don’t want to spoil your enjoyment of what is presented.
So, here’s the video.

Anderson Cooper meets Chaser, a dog who can identify over a thousand toys, and the scientists who are studying the brain of man’s best friend.
Love to get any comments from you.
Learning from Dogs 
I remember seeing a film a number of years ago about another Border Collie (European) who had a recognition vocabulary of several hundred words; unfortunately I can no longer find it on YouTube though. They certainly are extraordinary dogs, and in my book, are only matched in their intelligence and sensitivity by G.S.D.’s. That is quite possibly a biased perspective based on personal experience, though it does seem to be those two breeds that are cited most often in this regard. Many thanks Paul.

Hariod, you and I are biased toward the German shepherds! But when it comes to smartness and wisdom and instinctive behaviour there is no equal.
