Coming on the tail of my interview with Marc Bekoff (The Emotional Lives of Animals December 8th 2008), News Feeds are reporting that scientists have 'proven' that dogs can experience envy. They had to do a study to prove that? It's one of the things Marc and I were talking about during the show, scientists need to prove things that intuitivly or through experience we just know.
It's a good article though, so be sure to follow the link and have a read.
