Clever Dog, Stupid Dog
http://trot.dale.emery.name/2012/02/clever-dog-stupid-dog
Twelfth Root of Two. Clever Dog, Stupid Dog. February 29, 2012. Lily the dog learns quickly, including (of course) things we don't want her to learn, and even things we don't even know we're teaching her. For example, she's become very good at knowing when we're getting ready to take her for a walk. Clearly we're doing something that gives our intentions away. But we don't know what we're doing that she's cuing on. Very clever dog. That's surely not what she wants. Stupid dog. Comments powered by Disqus.
