"By specially training dogs to lie motionless in an fMRI scanner,
neuroscientists have finally taken a look inside the mind of our
favorite companion animal. And to no dog lover’s surprise, they exhibit
a level of awareness that will force us to reconsider the ways in which
they’re treated."

Fascinating!  Via Craig Froehle and Colin Mackay.

Share and enjoy,
