Well all of my dogs and cats had higher IQs than a lot of people who can vote so I'm not surprised.

Scientists — emboldened by recent breakthroughs with the human brain — are now working to find out what, exactly, your pooch is thinking about all day. The results probably won’t surprise you: Dogs think about food. A lot.
According to a recent study published in the journal Animal Cognition, your pup can count how many treats you put in front of her. And if you take one away? Yeah, she can tell — so maybe don’t try it. Findings like these have led scientists to peg an adult dog’s cognitive functioning at around the same level as that of a 2-year-old child, which, if you’ve ever spent any time with a toddler, sounds about right. Most pooches can understand close to 165-250 words, successfully interpret basic social cues and they love to play with iPads.
