(LOSANGELES.CBSLOCAL) — Researchers at Yale are using cognitive interactive studies to learn more about how dogs’ minds work.
Laurie Santos, director of the Yale Canine Cognition Center, explains that hundreds of volunteer dogs are used as subjects of puppet shows and a series of other cognitive tests.
“Dogs are just fascinating,” Santos said. “We love them, they live in our homes. Anyone who hangs out with a dog is kind of wondering, ‘what are they thinking, do they love me’.”
