Test Your Dog 2 - Rachel Federman
Introduction
You know your dog can sit, fetch and roll over. But can he sit like a human? Respond to commands in multiple languages? Roll a die? Help you with a crossword puzzle? Appreciate Mozart? For this, the genius edition, we are going to take things up a notch.Think about the kind of dog whose aptitude lands it in the news, like the Labrador Bullmastiff in Seattle who regularly takes the bus to the park by herself. (Don’t try this at home.) We don’t want to know if your dog is simply well accommodated to life as your companion; we want to know if he could navigate the world without you. We know your dog is smart, but do you have a canine whiz on your hands?
To help you find out, I’ve loaded this book with quizzes that ask you to imagine your dog in various situations, and activity tests for you to perform with your dog.You’ll also find hints and tips to boost your dog’s brainpower.These activities might not get your four-legged friend into the college of her choice, but they will give you another way to bond with your pup, besides the eight hours you spend snuggling in bed, the four hours you spend snuggling on the couch, the many walks you take together every day, and, of course, the long, drawn-out celebratory hugs that happen every time you reunite after an hour apart. Hopefully the results will increase your bragging rights to friends and family, put an extra bit of swagger in your tail-wagger, and lend weight to your not-so-secret conviction that your pup is superior to the rest of the neighbourhood dogs.
We know that intelligence tests for humans don’t assess raw intelligence, but one that is context-dependent, aiming to determine an individual’s ability to succeed in the modern developed world. And even then, most tests don’t always work well. Not least among the criticisms of today’s testing culture is the fact that tests aren’t a good predictor of future success: we all know someone who regularly did poorly on every test they were given as a child and whose career now outshines our own.
