A new study has found that eight in 10 dog owners say that being matched with their pet was meant to be. Not only that but of the 2,000 dog owners who were surveyed, nearly three-quarters (74%) said their dog resembles them in key ways, including energy levels, social habits and emotional sensitivity, with many agreeing that their canine is a reflection of their own demeanour. The survey conducted by Talker Researcher explored whether people choose pets that reflect their personality, and the results show a striking emotional connection. They closely examined introverted and extroverted people and whether their dogs matched them, personality-wise. The results were overwhelmingly convincing that 82% of extroverts were more likely to have an extroverted dog, compared to just 32% of introverts. Similarly,…...

But for a few moments, on a windy Saturday afternoon in the national capital, the smooth running of the wedding of Anthony Albanese and Jodie Haydon hung in the balance as a shy cavoodle prevaricated about walking down the aisle. Toto Albanese, Australia's first dog, was the designated ring-bearer for the first wedding of a sitting prime minister.

"But we found if you look very closely in modern dog genomes, wolf is there. This suggests that dog genomes can tolerate wolf DNA up to an unknown level and still remain the dogs we know and love." In this study, the researchers assessed over 2,700 genomes in databases maintained by National Center for Biotechnology Information and the European Nucleotide Archive. This data included DNA from wolves, breed dogs, village dogs, and other types of canids, and spanned DNA samples that are as much as 20,000 years old, to modern samples. The work showed that about two-thirds of breed dogs have detectable wolf ancestry in their genomes from hybridization events…...

Trying to find a city, town, or home that offers not only the amenities that every human in the family is looking for, but also the furry members of the brood can seem like an impossible task, particularly for those who want to settle down in a thriving metropolis, where the dwellings are often smaller and the green open spaces are few and far between. However, that search for the ideal pup-friendly location has now been made just a tiny bit easier thanks to a new ranking that reveals the best (and worst) cities across the U.S. for dog lovers…...

The morning rain quickly moves out before noon, unleashing a very cold wind with gusts of up to 40 mph. That could even lead to some flakes later. Gazer is a 7-year-old Shetland Sheepdog who loves to stare you down, hence the name Gazer. Being a sheltie, he loves to talk a lot by barking. He does herd sheep, competes in dog obedience competitions, and loves to people-watch. Wind chills will be in the 20s most of the day, and many will fall to the freezing mark by sunset. The cold and wind combination with leftover moisture could bring some lake effect snow showers from…...
