HOW DOGS LEARN FROM HUMAN BEHAVIOR
Can dogs read our minds? How do they learn to ask for food or do they behave badly especially when we don't look at them? According to Monique Udell and his team, the University of Florida, the way in which dogs come to respond to the level of people's attention tells us something about how dogs think and learn about human behavior.
His research, published in the journal Learning & Behaviour, suggests that everything is due to a combination of specific signals, context and experience. Recent work has identified a remarkable range of social behaviors similar to humans in domestic dogs, including its ability to respond to human body language, verbal orders, and the States of attention.

Are dogs really dumb?
Without trivializing too much the mournful tragedy of Sisyphus, I leave here two videos that I found surfing the net, in which two dogs emulate the misfortune of the myth.
I hope that apart from taking a few smiles, Let us think a little.
In hell, Sisyphus was forced to push a huge uphill on a steep slope, but before that it reached the top of the Hill the stone always rolled down, And Sisyph had to start again from the beginning.
The reason for this punishment is not mentioned by Homer, and it is dark (Some suggest that it is a part of Minos ironic punishment: Sisyphus didn't want to die and will never die, but in exchange for a high price, and he will not rest in peace to pay for it).
According to some, He had revealed the designs of the gods to mortals. According to others, It was due to his habit of attacking and killing travelers. It is also said that even after old and blind man would continue with his punishment.

A researcher tracks Tenerife dog
A family Canary posing with copies of this breed of dog that was originally called Tenerife
Some French were exemplary of the island in the years 20 and they called the race, unique in the world, bichon frise
The American researcher Matthew Sell follow the trail in Tenerife of an endemic breed of dog from the island who was so famous that it became almost everyone and was coveted by Kings and nobles. Although during the last century, it bore the name of Tenerife, the French, its largest exporter during the period, they changed it and put bichon frise. The history of this pet is little known in the Canary Islands, unless someone related to the canine world. Showing its origin is virtually impossible, but the expert knows that after the two world wars – between the decade of the years 20 and 50– several specimens were taken to France to recover the species in the Gallic country.
The group that helps Matthew Sell, among which is the Professor of the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) Ulysses Martin, want to know who these people were. The goal is to "trace the recent history of the bichon frisé, who later disappeared from the Island". Veterinarians, as explained by the Canarian expert, they only register this type of breeds in the Peninsula, While there are no breeders in Tenerife. Somehow, This dog was recognized in Europe and "we don't know what adventures it had in the Canary Islands". «What we know is that around 1924 and 1950 "They were exported to France", indicates Martin.
The main lines and the best standards of this breed today descend from the bichons that were sent from Tenerife.. «We would like to find those people who were able to raise or care for this dog from the Island, because today no one knows the bichon and those that exist have come from the Peninsula., ensures the ULL expert.
