"The fundamental issue among knowledgeable animal behaviorists is that anthropomorphization with animals is generally the appropriate tactic unless you have reason to doubt it. Because there is continuity between animals and us rather than discontinuity. The idea that the anthropomorphization of animals is inappropriate is something derived from 1950s behaviorism."
– Dr. Jorden B. Peterson

Science is catching up to what service dog training has utilized for a long time. But it is good to learn more about what exactly dogs pick up on whenever possible. With cortisol and body odor changes this is pretty straight forward but still interesting.

Dog Life Expectancy Closely Linked To Breed, Says Study

yahoo.com/lifestyle/dog-life-e

I am sure life expectancy varies by breed. That is per see, not news.

But lifestyle matters. A lot! The type of food we feed. The number of vaccination over a dog's life, the types of tick and flea control we use, etc. It all matters a lot.

My last two German Shepherds lived to be 17 and 19 years.
