one of the nice things about NY Times, they run quite a few articles on dog behavior and dog psychology. dog is truly the american holy animal. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/20/opinion/sunday/is-your-dog -smarter-than-a-2-year-old.html after reading this, i can relate a few things my dog does. one of its favorite things is sitting by me as i have my morning coffee on weekends. i think it likes the coffee smell but never asks for it. also it knows, when he smells coffee, i will be home all day, as i do not take cofee at home on working days. so, some times, i fake that i am burnt by the hot coffee (thats how i taught him not to ask for coffee, btw), then he empathizes by licking my hand or leg. another wonderful thing i understood only recently: wife and i take him for a walk, and nowadays it gets dark. on a narrow walk path, we three walk in a single file, with about 10 ft apart. he make sure he walks in the middle and keeps an eye on both of us and adjusts his pace. true champ. some times I fall back purposefully to test him what he does. he DOES NOT wait for me. he instinctively knows between me and my wife, she needs protection and stays with her. But.. ready? he keeps peeing a bit, and hurries off. reason, he thinks i can use his pee if i got lost. he comes every night and asks to be brushed. this is the most insane thing. but if I tell him, i will brush you tomorrow, he puts a long face and goes back to his watching post. he sits on a dog site by our main window and keeps an eye on the drive way.
