not a baboon

Drs. Seyfarth and Cheney believe that one reason may be that they lack a “theory of mind”; the recognition that others have thoughts.

Union Rules

From wake-up till 8 when I leave for work my dog is very playful and friendly. Follows. Barks. Leaks. When I come back at 6 he barks very happy and won't stop till I pet him.
