Maryland! A friend is volunteering with the PG County animal shelter and says Lucy is the sweetest baby. She has malformed hind legs and keeps getting overlooked because of it, but is a complete lovebug. Look at this face! Her ID number is A556355 and she needs you!

I'm very excited to share our paper, out now in Animal Cognition, where we show that dogs are able to detect meaningful (to them) phrases in a stream of meaningless speech, even if no exaggerated intonation is used. Check it out here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

If you can’t see it’s a genocide by now, I don’t know what to tell you. Please speak up even if you have never done so before.
