| Contributor(s):: Ingham, H. Rae Westbury, Neumann, David L., Waters, Allison M.

Comparing interspecific socio-communicative skills of socialized juvenile dogs and miniature pigs
| Contributor(s):: Gerencser, L., Perez Fraga, P., Lovas, M., Ujvary, D., Andics, A.
Previous research proves dogs’ outstanding success in socio-communicative interactions with humans; however, little is known about other domestic species’ interspecific skills when kept as companion animals. Our aim was to assess highly socialized young miniature pigs’...

Canine emotions as seen through human social cognition.
| Contributor(s):: Miiamaaria V. Kujala
It is not possible to demonstrate that dogs (Canis familiaris) feel emotions, but the same is true for all other species, including our own. The issue must therefore be approached indirectly, using premises similar to those used with humans. Recent methodological advances in canine research...
