Yes, this is very obvious to her. Why is it very obvious to her? Has she actually done any experiments along these lines? No. Do experiments that have been done disagree with her and Lessans? Yes, unanimously. Did Lessans do any experiments on these lines? No. So why is it very obvious to her? Because Daddy Dumbkins said it was true, even though it's false!
And here is an article about recent experiments with dogs looking at two-dimensional images in which Lessans is refuted all over again! |

That experiment doesn't show anything about dogs recognizing features. They could associate someone's gait but to look at a 2 dimensional picture and recognize their owner from a picture is so far from conclusive, I'm shocked that you can even call yourselves scientists. |
It demonstrates that dogs can and will respond to, and interpret, visual cues from two dimensional images that therefore do not stimulate a dog's most sensitive and most favored and used sense, that of smell. The dog did not follow the persons gaze unless the person was looking at the dog and addressed it directly first. Recognition of direct address is fairly sophisticated cognitive functioning.
It's just another piece if evidence....just more data.
