dogs are smart

This is a cool link on dogs.  It talks about the sophisticated communication skills years of evolution have brought to our furry friends.  they are the only species that is this clever with human communication.

i read an article a while ago that dogs are the only non-primate species that intuitively knows what pointing means.  you point to food and a dog knows to look at your finger.  a cat will sit and look at you, or anywhere else it feels like.  cats can be trained to understand pointing, but dogs come with it built-in.
