Snow leopards, a hyena and other cats in zoos have been dying from Covid, but not dogs. Dr. Stan Coren answers the question about why dogs can be so well behaved when solo and so naughty when in a group. Peer pressure is part of the pack mentality and irresistible to your dog he explains. Sometimes that can be a good thing like for the good of the pack, with sharing pup raising duties even nursing by retired mama dogs! Deborah continues her ongoing argument with Dr. Coren pointing out yet more examples of dogs using tools and cats using tools and Dr. Coren responds adding an example of an unstoppable beagle and a Golden Retriever who would push a French Bulldog off a dock in order to rescue the Frenchie and make his owner proud! Oh la la Frenchies are not good swimmers! Deborah compares this to the common example of dogs who learn to jump up rudely to get redirected and praised for ‘off’ and polite manners.
