How Empathetic Is Your Dog?

(YouTube link)

Would your dog go out of his/her way to help you if you really needed it? We'd all like to think so. This experiment involved 34 dogs of different breeds and how they reacted to seeing their humans in distress. The good news is that most of them wanted to help, or at least be with, their owners. One might suspect that some were just too dumb to know what to do. Others may be smart enough to realize it was a setup. At least that's what we'd like to think. After all, they are all good dogs.

Like every cereal company, they cut back on sugar and people quit buying them. Just like Coke & Pepsi won't listen to the customers that don't want corn syrup in their soft drink.

Qwisp and Quake were the same cereal. General Mills introduced them at the same time, and created a rivalry between the two characters - then made kids vote on who would win. Qwisp won.
