Dogs Have Music Preferences But Most Like To Chill With Reggae, Says Study
If their music taste is anything to go by, dogs are super chilled.
The University of Glasgow has released new research, in partnership with Scotlands Animal Welfare Charity (SPCA), looking at the musical taste of dogs.
The study consisted of playing five different genres of music to a group of dogs through sound systems installed in kennels, including soft rock, Motown, pop, reggae, and classical. The researchers then monitored the dogs’ stress levels by recording how much time they moved around, their heart rate, and other physiological changes.
Overall, the response to different genres was mixed highlighting the possibility that like humans, our canine friends have their own individual music preferences, study author Professor Neil Evans, from Glasgow Universitys School of Veterinary Medicine, said in a statement.
However, both reggae and soft rock stuck out as the consistent favorite, with the dogs being notably more chilled out and expressing more positive behaviors when exposed to those genres.
“At present, both our Glasgow and Edinburgh centres are able to pipe music into their kennels,”Gilly Mendes Ferreira, of the SPCA, told BBC News.“In the future, every centre will be able to offer our four-footed friends a canine-approved playlist, with the view to extending this research to other species in our care.”

These Dads Never Wanted Dogs, But They Soon Learned That They Were Total Suckers
Dads around the world have a couple of things in common. They love their kids, they get a kick out of being embarrassing, and they definitely don’t want dogs.
Is there some secret dad club that tells fathers to oppose four-legged friends? I thought my dad was the only one who said he didn’t want to get a dog, only to end up snuggling with it on the couch daily. As it turns out, he’s not alone! These 21 dads claimed to not want a pup at all, but they soon found out why it’s said that a dog is man’s best friend.
1. Dads may try to make us believe that they’re against dogs, but once one moves in…
And dad said he didn’t want a dog.. Wahaaay pic.twitter.com/QxwIvwCAZ7

2. …they become the best of friends in no time.
3. You see, as soon as a dad gets down on a pup’s level, they completely fall in love.

Cats And Dogs Remember Things In The Same Way
Cats are aloof, frown-prone creatures that spend much of their time plotting various ways to murder things. They come across as relatively intelligent and independent, but its often thought by researchers that dogs are actually more intelligent, particularly when comparing relative brain sizes with cats.
A new study in the journal Behavioral Processes, however, suggests that cats are indeed just as clever as their canine counterparts at least when it comes to how they handle memory.
First off, a little introduction to something called episodic memory. This type of mental recall is related to autobiographical events times, places, emotions, events, and so on which is accompanied by context, including perspective, geographic locations, other peoples input, and so on.
Not just involving a recounting of events, however, episodic memory also adds in the individuals own perspective on how things played out and everything associated with it. This means that each memory is completely unique to each individual, even if others were there experiencing the very same event.
Any animal with the ability to process this memory type (among others) is considered have an advanced form of cognition. Humans have it, plenty of other primates have it, and its been confirmed that dogs have it too.
Until now, it hadnt been confirmed whether or not cats have it perhaps because cats are rather bad at both paying attention and cooperating in any way whatsoever. This new study, led by researchers at Kyoto University, took 49 domestic cats and decided to look into it.
Using a series of food bowls, the team allowed the cats to eat from a few before taking them out of the room for a 15-minute interval. Based on their behavior when they were allowed back into the rooms, it was clear that the cats remembered how much they had eaten from various bowls, and which they had eaten from.
They revisited sources of food in the room that, upon second viewing, had been moved elsewhere by the researchers, implying that they remembered where food initially was. Essentially, they were seeming to recall the room and how it had changed because of them and behaved accordingly. The cats seemed not to need to investigate the room as if they had seen it for the first time.
Granted, its not the most groundbreaking study, but it finally confirms that cats have the same type of episodic memory that dogs have. In this regard, then, cats are at least as smart as dogs.
Overall, though, the jury is still out even if, according to the same researchers, cats have a grasp of the laws of physics.

These Dogs May Look Familiar And That’s Because They Were On Your Favorite Show
Only the most passionate TV fans know their favorite characters by both their on- and off-screen names.
Services such as IMBD allow avid television and movie fans to keep up to date with their favorite actors and their next big gigs. But what happens when the cast of a show like “Game of Thrones” consists of not only humans, but a variety of animals that might just steal our hearts?
In season one of “Game of Thrones,” we were introduced to Summer and Grey Wind, two of the direwolves that were taken in by the Starks. They quickly became fan favorites, and many praised the production staff for using real animals instead of CGI. What some don’t know is that the real lives of these puppy actors are almost as incredible as the epic series that made them famous.
Meet Odin and Thor, who are really just your average Northern Inuit dogs.
Unlike most dogs, however, they just so happened to star in one of the world’s most popular television shows.
Their owner, William Mulhall, received a call about the show just a few weeks after taking home the then-seven-week-old puppies.
