Human beings have lived with dogs for thousands of years.
You'd think that after all that time we'd have discovered all there is to know
about them. But, as we first reported last fall, it turns out that until

lives, were never thought to be worthy of serious study. As a result, we know
very little about what actually goes on inside dogs' brains. Do they really

Pilley and his border collie Chaser are inseparable.
