And cats. I had a cat that was the biggest snuggle buddy and you go to anybody except 1 time I had to replace my fridge and he and the old dog that also loved people wouldn't go anywhere near one of the guys. The cat actually growled at him and the dog went in the bedroom to her crate. That is the only time that cat ever growled at anybody in the 17 years I had him.

I have a chihuahua cross, i can't really trust his judgement as he just hates everyone equally

I have the opposite problem. We literally haven't ever come across a person my dog didn't like. However, I find it hard to trust people who don't like dogs.

I agree! My dog has only ever run away from one person, my neighbor. Come to find out, she broke into my house once and stole some items. Good boy!!!

My dog HATES my neighbor across the street. They have all kinds of tRump c**p outside so that is a pretty good indicator for humans!

From my porch, I watch how the neighborhood dogs react to certain people on the street. I concur with their opinions 10/10.

I had first hand experience of this. My dogs insisted on staying between me (while showing teeth) and the window replacement man. I had to put my check on my car hood then back away with the dogs so he could get paid. I was home alone but I felt very safe. Great job, Lady and BB!

My brother and sister in law had a friend who they liked and got on well with but their dog growled every time he saw him. Turns out the guy was a kiddy fiddler.

My dog is afraid of men, unless they have a dog! It's like she thinks the dog garantees for the human!

Bored Panda got in touch with Juliana DeWillems, Certified Dog Behavior Consultant & Dog Trainer, and she was kind enough to answer some of our questions about our furry friends. Firstly, we wanted to hear what common misconceptions she’s encountered about dog behavior.
“Oh man, where do I start! Dogs are unfortunately very likely to be misunderstood due to humans not understanding canine body language. Dogs are constantly communicating with their bodies and behavior, but because humans are verbal communicators we often miss what they are saying.”

“When we do pay attention to a dog’s body language, we often misinterpret it and apply human constructs or human secondary emotions to the behavior. We are quick to label dogs as spiteful, stubborn, mean, or dominant, when in reality their body language tells an entirely different story about what they are experiencing and why they are behaving a certain way.”

Well, now you can add just about everybody on BP right now to “my humans”
“The human world is very tricky to navigate for a dog, and they are just trying their best! One of my favorite sentiments about dog behavior is: your dog is not trying to give you a hard time, they are having a hard time. The more we approach dog behavior with curiosity and empathy, the easier and less frustrating our life with dogs will be.”

My vets office sent a clay imprint of my cats paw. My daughter drilled a small hole through it and now it’s a Christmas tree ornament
We also wanted to hear her take on the old question, can one teach an old dog new tricks? “Absolutely! Dogs can learn at any age. In fact, doing positive reinforcement training with an older dog can be a great way to keep their mind sharp, help them feel fulfilled, and enrich their life.”
#14
“If you’re wanting to change an old dog’s behavior, that is going to be harder later in life simply because you’re working against many years of habits being reinforced. It’s not impossible, it just might take more effort than if you’re wanting to build new habits in a young dog,” she shared with Bored Panda.
#16
Setting aside training, we also wanted to hear her opinion on why dog content is just so common and popular online. “I think the human-canine bond is really powerful. As a society we LOVE dogs and they have become a huge part of our lives and our culture. They bring us so much joy and happiness, so of course that is going to extend to the internet. “
“We love dogs because of how silly, happy, and full of personality they are—which also happens to be the perfect formula for viral internet content.” A quick glance at any meme page will net you multiple articles on animals being cute or funny. While it’s often cats, dogs do get their fair share of attention.

I would frame it and hang it and give it the title 'Every beautiful day includes a s****y moment. Enjoy it!'
Juliana left us with some parting thoughts. “The best thing you can do for your dog and the dogs in your life is to educate yourself about dog body language. Understanding what your dog is saying with their body language and behavior can dramatically increase your bond with them because they finally have a way to communicate with you.”
“However, once you learn about dog body language, get ready for a lot of viral dog content to be less entertaining because you suddenly notice all the subtle stress signals the dogs are showing in videos and photos. It’s not uncommon for humans to have a good laugh at an animal’s expense, often because we don’t realize just how distressed an animal is in the moment.”
#28
“Understanding dogs is a double-edged sword because you can’t unsee the signs of stress, but it’s worth it. We’ve asked dogs to adapt to our human world—the least we can do is learn their language and understand what they are trying to tell us. A great resource for learning canine body language: Doggie Language: A Dog Lover’s Guide to Understanding Your Best Friend by Lili Chin (it’s literally a picture book!)”

Why are you pretending it is? Don’t you USUALLY have a dog like that at the bar? Or maybe you just love his little face, in which case, you are completely right.

These stories are cute, but they bring into the question the legitimacy of using dogs as probable cause for police searches. I know unreasonable search and seizures can happen anywhere but, living the the American south, I am acutely aware of unethical law enforcement officers. Some officers even know how to signal their dog to "alert."

Science literacy matters! The thicker fur has trapped the heat next to the body, where the shorter hair allowe a surface temperature. You can't tell with an infrared camera what temp the dog's skin is under the thick fur. That's why you test how effective insulation is by using an infrared camera. The coldest part means less heat loss and better insulation. It's warmer against the skin.
