Tyre Nichols and A New Push for Police Reform
The beating death of Tyre Nichols has renewed calls for reforming the police. But can anything really change?
Scientists thought a dog's intelligence set them apart from other animals. But animal psychologist Clive Wynne says his research shows it's love of humans.
Anyone who has ever owned a dog – been greeted with a wagging tail and barks of delight – would say, of course, their dog loves them.
But science has been more hesitant to attribute emotion to certain animal behavior. Maybe a dog only cares about the food they are about to get? Maybe a dog has been trained to behave in this way? What about dogs who don’t have a friendly human in their life?
Behavioral scientist Clive Wynne was trained to think this way as well. But through his recent research, his thinking has evolved. He says a dog’s ability to love is precisely what makes them a unique species.
Clive Wynne’s new book is “Dog is Love: Why and How Your Dog Loves You.”
