The author feels that the evidence that dogs mourn their owners is anecdotal and tends to anthropomorphize them. Other animals, such as elephants and chimpanzees, show much more credible evidence of mourning. I still like the picture of the police dog, even if he is reacting to humans giving attention to something (in this case, the coffin).

Unlike Elephants and Chimpanzees, your dog won't kill you.

I wonder what they will do with the dog? Dogs who maul people are generally destroyed, but this dog didn't do anything bad, he couldn't have possibly known that jumping into the truck and onto the accelerator would result in the man's death.

My dog has recently learned how to jump up on the bed, burrow under the covers, lay up against me on her back and demand belly rubs.

Not cool, man.

A black Labrador is recovering after she was shot up to 100 times with a BB gun.

Lady was found wandering around Waldoboro, Maine, two weeks ago when a good Samaritan took her to Lincoln County Animal Shelter. There, vets discovered 80-100 BBs lodged in the dog's face, back and legs.

The one-year-old Labrador, who has since been adopted, miraculously escaped any eye or organ damage and is doing well but Lincoln County Animal Control and the Waldoboro Police Department are trying to track down her attackers.
