Diesel Don't Care

Many dog owners claim that when their dogs do something wrong, they get a "guilty look."
Well, that's bullshit.
One woman who calls herself a K9 scientist says that dogs have a guilty look only if they're scolded by their owner, not if they simply do something wrong.
"The guilty look does not signify a knowledge of a misdeed," said Julie Hect, of the Barnard College Dog Cognition Lab in New York City. "We found that the dog's behavior is not dependent on what the dog did, but what the owner did."
In other words, they don't know that their actions are wrong, only that it will bring a negative reaction from their owners. The 2009 study by Barnard College supports her point. In that study, dogs gave the guilty look whenever they were scolded, whether they actually misbehaved or not.
Does Diesel look guilty for sleeping on our new memory foam bathmat? And climbing into the tub so he can close the door and get some privacy?
