"Dog Genius"

The documentary "Dog Genius" it`s a perfect video to learn something more about dog intelligence and their special way to relate with people. We can see many cases, experiments (made by professionals) and another stuff related with the development of dogs in their enviornment. As we can see on the documentary, wolves have evolved into many different genetic lines of dogs, actually domesticated by the men, although, the dogs that actually live among us, remain some characteristics from their ancestors (like smelling trough long distances) and also, dogs have been improved by the men in some characters helpful for us. In my career, I previously have seen the "fast mapping", one of the first types of reasoning, developed in babies and also in our canine friends. This says to us that dogs really have the capacity to think, maybe in a more primitive way than humans can, opening new frontiers in the areas of the animal behaviour investigation. Returning to their special and awesome feature to smell, in the documentary we could see the “layers smelling capacity”, the way how dogs can separate the many odors around them, being able to identify each one, even if their are exposed to more than one. The “stars” smelling, are the “bloodhounds”, this breed is used by the police to improve their investigations. They actually use them to follow some odors related with, for example, a criminal.
Another interesting thing we could see, was the “k-9 camp”, a training center where dogs are trained by professionals since firsts days of their lifes. The way how the trainers does, is stimulating their senses of many ways, for example, they put the puppies on warm towels, stimulate their social sense putting another animals around them (like cats), and even they carry puppies to a market. The main objective of all this things is to achieve a bigger development of the animals brain.
Finally, this documentary helped me to find some interesting and rare information about dogs and the way how they evolved into a more friendly kind of animal, a kind of animal that live among us, making with humans special bonds of feelings and work.

My favourite picture: A special day with good friends

Hello again, today I`m gonna write about one of my favourite pictures I have. It was taken on March 17th, the day of my birthday by one of my friends, Carolina (better known as "miss table" :P). The picture shows me (in the middle), Beatriz (on the left side) and Catalina (on the right side showing the half of his face) posing for the photo on "Mundo Granja", the place where the girls decided to give me a big surprise. It was so cool, they even bought donuts and also they made some birthday cards by they own!. Definitely it was one of that days you always remember, even years after them. I really like this photo because when I look it, i can remember such a great day with three of my best friends... see ya!

PS: The only thing that it wasn`t that great, was the movie we saw on the cinema after that, Friday the 13th, it`s absolutely awful and booooring, DON`T WATCH IT, you will waste your money and time!!!!
