I watch some of these documentaries, and it amazes what scientists used to think about dogs (and I'm sure some still do), and I always have to think that those scientists never really lived with a dog....

I had never seen this before. Part 4 and 5 was more than enlightning. Breeding aggression out of a dog actully changes the color of them. Amazing.

that was very interesting. I just watched all segments.

And in conclusion, we need dogs just as much as they need us. Who on this forum didn't know that? Watched all six segments. Recommend it to everyone here. Genetics have always intriged me.

Yeah, I got distracted and had to watch them all too.

I thought the experiment of putting the wild foxes with the tame mothers was pretty amazing, and also raising the wolf cub. Oh, and the left-sided face reading...

I think it's right sided face reading (ie human face is more expressive on the right) & left sided viewing by the dogs ?????
