New Scientist rounds up seven traits that illustrate just how close to human our best friends are becoming.

1. Deceptive beasts. - Dogs know what they like, and are not above feeding humans misinformation to get it.

2. Moral imperative - They are famous for their blind loyalty, but dogs are more discerning than you might think – they prefer people that they see helping their owner

3. Jealous guys - No one likes to feel like they’re getting the raw end of a deal, and dogs are no exception.

4. My word, what a vocabulary - When it comes to a grasp of words, dogs know their stuff.

5. Intention detectors - When dogs learn new tricks from other dogs, they do not simply copy what they see, but interpret the goals and intentions of the dog they are watching, then act accordingly.

6. Listen up - When humans and dogs hear vocal sounds like laughter and barking, their brains respond in the same way.

7. Furry inferences - Dogs can learn words by inference, in the same way that human toddlers do.

Humans aren't animals,they are a virus!
They are cruel to the planet & the planet is about to bite back &
rid itself of a awful malady.

8. They hump legs at parties just like we do. What, I can't be the only one.

Excellent example of morality being a product of evolution and one not at all restricted to humans.

If dogs had cell phones, they would post selfys of their assholes all over social media. We don't need that.
