A handful of huskies imported from Labrador in the 1940s and topped up with dogs from Greenland became the ancestors of a sledge dog population that hauled supplies across the ice for nearly half a century, until a treaty banning all non-native animals forced the last of them to be removed from the continent entirely in February 1994.
1+ week, 1+ day ago (662+ words) A frozen workforce that hauled supplies across Antarctica for nearly fifty years faced sudden obsolescence when environmental treaties declared their presence incompatible with the continent's protection....
A study testing 458 free-ranging dogs in India found a clear preference for yellow over blue or grey — and in one test, 47 of 61 dogs approached an empty yellow bowl before a grey bowl topped with chicken
4+ week, 2+ day ago (227+ words) When hungry dogs bypass food for an empty bowl, it raises questions about how canine vision and instinct diverge from human assumptions....
When you lock eyes with your dog, something happens in both your bodies: a real oxytocin rise, the same hormone that binds a parent to an infant — though how far that parallel holds is still being argued
1+ mon, 6+ day ago (629+ words) The bond between dogs and humans may operate on the same neurochemical machinery that ties parents to infants—a finding that has reshaped how we understand pet ownership, even if scientists still can't agree what it really means. Published August…...
Every owner knows the dog head-tilt, but which dogs do it most turns out to be telling: the rare dogs 'gifted' at learning toy names tilted their heads far more often, hinting the tilt marks a mind hard at work
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (276+ words) When their owners asked for a specific toy by name, a small group of unusually talented dogs tilted their heads about 43% of the time. A larger group of...
A 2019 experiment challenged the old idea that cats are aloof and indifferent to their owners: researchers found that about two-thirds of the cats they could classify showed secure attachment patterns resembling those seen in babies with a caregiver
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (204+ words) Science suggests your cat's indifference might be an act—two-thirds display the same attachment bonds to owners that human infants show to caregivers....
At Kyoto University, dogs who saw a stranger snub their owner later took fewer treats from that stranger, and what's hard to shake is how closely it mirrors us: keeping careful account of who let us down while barely noting who showed up
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (389+ words) Published in Animal Behaviour in August 2015, the experiment was a small piece of domestic theatre staged in front of 54 dogs. The owner sat in the middle. A...
Trained dogs can sniff out certain cancers from a person's breath or urine, with accuracies above 90 per cent in some studies. What scientists still can't fully pin down is exactly which chemical compounds make up the scent a dog is locking onto
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (279+ words) Dogs can detect cancer in breath and urine with uncanny accuracy, yet science remains unable to identify the specific odor molecules they're tracking. By Daniel Moran · Editorial process Published July 25, 2026 What exists is not one paper, and not a consensus…...
That adorable 'guilty look' your dog gives you is probably not guilt at all: in one experiment, dogs looked just as 'guilty' when they were entirely innocent — the hangdog face is a response to your scolding, not a real confession of any crime
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (940+ words) Here's a number that should give any dog owner pause. In one survey, 74% of owners said they believed their dog feels guilt. By Mal James · Editorial process Published July 17, 2026 Here’s a number that should give any dog owner pause. In…...
Dogs do not see the world in black and white: they see much as a red-green colourblind person does, in blues and yellows — reds and greens simply fade to murky browns and grey, but colour is very much there
1+ mon, 4+ week ago (153+ words) Dogs do not see only in black and white. That is one of the most stubborn myths in popular biology, and it is wrong. Dogs see colour. Their world is narrower...
Brain scans found that mothers looking at their own dogs activated some of the same attachment networks as when they looked at their own children — evidence that the bond between humans and pets is biologically real
2+ mon, 1+ day ago (531+ words) Published July 11, 2026 That is the whole apparatus. It captures which regions grow more active when a mother looks at a familiar, loved face rather than a stranger’s. It does not measure love, and it does not measure the strength of…...
