OK, I might be feeling soppy this morning, relaxing after a hardworking couple of weeks, but I can’t resist pointing to this “shaggy dog” story. I’ve known quite a few genuine working dogs and owned one of my own of a working breed, and they can really be amazing animals – I believe the experts say that dogs don’t have a “theory of the mind”, but you’d have to doubt that conclusion after some contact with working dogs.
