Does Your Dog Have a Conscience?

If you believe a recent study, your dog knows the difference between right and wrong. The New Scientist reports that dogs may have a rudimentary sense of morality and inequity. For instance, a pair of dogs recognize a difference when one of them is given a treat and the other is not, scientists said. A few weeks ago, the study was presented to the first Canine Science Forum in Budapest, Hungary.

"I agree," said Will Thomas, Tampa Bay Dog Whisperer. Thomas says he's worked with over a thousand dogs and has been successful because he's learned to think like a dog.
