SANTIAGO,

Chile – Chileans have a new hero: an apparently homeless dog that

pulled the body of another dog through traffic off a busy highway. A surveillance camera

on a Santiago freeway captured images of a dog trotting past speeding

cars to pull the lifeless body of the other canine, which had been run

over by a vehicle, away from traffic and onto the median strip.

The scene was broadcast by Chilean television stations and then posted on Web sites such as YouTube.com, and hundreds of thousands of people had viewed versions of it by Monday.

Highway

crews removed both the dead and live dogs from the median strip of the

Vespucio Norte Highway shortly after the Dec. 4 incident. But the

rescuer dog ran away.

Authorities say images of the rescue prompted some people to call and offer to adopt the dog, but neither highway workers nor a television crew could find they animal.

Not just your kids: Dogs can think 'no fair' too Canines, like people and monkeys, seem to have a sense of fairnessBy Randolph E. Schmid

parent hasn't heard that from a child who thinks another youngster got

more of something. Well, it turns out dogs can react the same way.Ask them to do a trick and they'll give it a try. For a reward, sausage say, they'll happily keep at it.

if one dog gets no reward, and then sees another get sausage for doing

the same trick, just try to get the first one to do it again.Indeed, he may even turn away and refuse to look at you.Dogs, like people and monkeys, seem to have a sense of fairness.

" Animals

react to inequity, " said Friederike Range of the University of Vienna,

Austria, who lead a team of researchers testing animals at the school's

Clever Dog Lab. " To avoid stress, we should try to avoid treating them

differently. " Similar responses have been seen in monkeys.Range

said she wasn't surprised at the dogs reaction, since wolves are known

to cooperate with one another and appear to be sensitive to each other.

Modern dogs are descended from wolves.Next,

she said, will be experiments to test how dogs and wolves work

together. " Among other questions, we will investigate how differences

in emotions influence cooperative abilities, " she said via e-mail.In

the reward experiments reported in Tuesday's edition of Proceedings of

the National Academy of Sciences, Range and colleagues experimented

with dogs that understood the command " paw, " to place their paw in the

hand of a researcher. It's the same game as teaching a dog to " shake

hands. " Those that refused at the start —

and one border collie that insisted on trying to herd other dogs — were

removed. That left 29 dogs to be tested in varying pairs.The

dogs sat side-by-side with an experimenter in front of them. In front

of the experimenter was a divided food bowl with pieces of sausage on

one side and brown bread on the other.The dogs were asked to shake hands and each could see what reward the other received.When one dog got a reward and the other didn't, the unrewarded animal stopped playing.

When both got a reward all was well.One

thing that did surprise the researchers was that — unlike primates —

the dogs didn't seem to care whether the reward was sausage or bread.Possibly,

they suggested, the presence of a reward was so important it obscured

any preference. Other possibilities, they said, are that daily training

with their owners overrides a preference, or that the social condition

of working next to a partner increased their motivation regardless of

which reward they got.And the dogs never rejected the food, something that primates had done when they thought the reward was unfair.The dogs, the researchers said, " were not willing to pay a cost by rejecting unfair offers. "

Clive

Wynne, an associate professor in the psychology department of the

University of Florida, isn't so sure the experiment measures the

animals reaction to fairness. " What it means is individuals are responding negatively to being treated less well, " he said in a telephone interview.But

the researchers didn't do a control test that had been done in monkey

studies, Wynne said, in which a preferred reward was visible but not

given to anyone.In that case the monkeys went on strike because they could see the better reward but got something lesser.In dogs, he noted, the quality of reward didn't seem to matter, so the test only worked when they got no reward at all, he said.

However,

Wynne added, there is " no doubt in my mind that dogs are very, very

sensitive to what people are doing and are very smart. " © 2008 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

And for the Jyotish thought,

 

Dogs seems to have strong sense of Dharma it looks. Remember the story

of Mahabharata when a Dog (Actually lord Dharma) was following

Yudhishtra (another Dharma avatar) and his brothers in their last days?.

 

Now, as per Yoni Assignment the Dog yoni is assigned to Ardra as female

dog (In Gemini) and Moola as male dog.(In Saggittarius). The

Gemini and Saggittarius falls in 3-9 Axis. 9th being natural Dharma

In Kaalachakra dog is assigned to Nirriti corner (Ruled by Mercury

Jupiter natural ruler for Dharna sits get digbala in Ishana direction.

 

Now for a good question, Who is the Graha ruler for Dog?
