Investigations
A Dogs IQ
The average dog can learn at
least 165 words–the same capability as a two-year-old human! (And some
dogs, like border collies, poodles and German shepherds, can comprehend
up to 250 words!) A University of British Columbia study also found
dogs can do basic arithmetic just as well as preschoolers, and they can
count to five or even higher. "Their stunning flashes of brilliance and
creativity are indicators that they're closer to humans than we
thought," says canine researcher Stanley Coren, author of How Dogs Think. The above is an
article found in WOMAN'S WORLD magazine 11/02/09 Issue. Author unknown.
Until next
time."Here's Looking At You".

"Sundance Makes His Final Rounds" For his last hurrah,
Sundance returned to a familiar place to walk the halls, kiss a few
hands and raise his head for many loving pats.
The 8-year-old Labrador was back at the Beatitudes Campus, the care facility in north Phoenix Arizona where, more than three years ago, he made one of his first visits as a Hospice of the Valley pet-therapy dog. He was the top dog, the only pet when the Pet Connections program began in 2006. Now, 175 pets make regular visits across the Valley. It's a healthy following but one that Sundance is leaving behind. Arthritis is taking him out of the game, with pain so bad in his right front elbow that even short visits with patients can leave him limping. Arthroscopic surgery in September couldn't return him to his former self. His owner, Katie Howland O'Brien, who also directs the hospice's pet program, decided he'd had enough. So on Tuesday 11/10/09, Sundance made his final rounds. With his soft fur and gentle nature, Sundance has been a favorite. Ever ready to jump up on a bed to nuzzle next to someone or rest his head on a lap, many patients reach out to bring him near. O'Brien thinks about the highlights of Sundance's visits, such as the man who told Sundance he didn't want to be 100, or the man who confided he didn't want to die alone. And the time one patient, who hadn't talked for six months, suddenly exclaimed, "What a beautiful dog," when Sundance walked into her room. "He's met amazing people," O'Brien said with a bittersweet smile. "I don't think he saw it as a job. But I look at this as quality of life. He deserves to rest." It will be difficult to not slip on his bright blue therapy vest anymore. But it's time, she said, for Sundance to have his lazy days by the pool. Sources: From an
article written by Connie Cone Sexton found in the November 11, 2009
issue of The Arizona Republic news paper. Valley & State section.
