Dog Experiments Part One.

Dogs can make choices! I've just put three things on the floor for my dog Pickles to choose from. I offered him a piece of dried liver, a piece of dried tripe (see the pattern emerging?) and a piece of dried bulls penis. (I kid you not. In the Pet shop it's more politely referred to as bulls pizzle but it's basically bull knob. Dried. Eeewwww.)

Anyway. I put them down for him and he sniffs them one by one, and then goes back around and sniffs them all again and then he picks up the dried liver and takes it back to his bed. (Please note, I don't condone eating dried liver in bed, it's a dreadful habit.)

So I think, 'Ha! You made a choice!' and I start to put the other two away but then I realise he's coming back. He's coming back to get the other two things.

So not only did he make a first choice, he also has enough brain to realise if he comes back quickly enough the other two things might still be there to have as well.

Yes.



Tune in tomorrow for more gripping installments.
