The idea that animals can experience love was once anathema to the psychologists who studied them, seen as a case of putting sentimentality before scientific rigor.

"I think there comes a point when it's worth being skeptical of your skepticism," the Englishman said in an interview with AFP.Titles like"The Genius of Dogs" by Brian Hare have advanced the idea that dogs have an innate and exceptional intelligence.

In genetics, UCLA geneticist Bridgett vonHoldt made a surprising discovery in 2009: Dogs have a mutation in the gene responsible for Williams syndrome in humans -- a condition characterized by intellectual limitations and exceptional gregariousness. Magnetic resonance imaging has drilled down on the neuroscience, showing that dogs' brains respond to praise as much or even more than food.

Wynne is an advocate for the trash heap theory, which holds that the precursors to ancient dogs congregated around human dumping grounds, slowly ingratiating themselves with people before the enduring partnership we know today was established through joint hunting expeditions.
