The intelligence of dogs

Turns out dogs are not immature wolves, as some theories have it. They aren't dumber than wolves, Csányi said, and they aren't following us around out of subservience to the so-called alpha dogs of the pack, i.e., us.



Rather, dogs are carefully evolved human assistants, said Csányi, who have learned to interpret our social lives in a way unmatched in the animal kingdom. They hang around us because they think there might be something good we could do together. And, we feed them.
