00:03dogs they're playful headstrong fun-loving and above all loyal our
00:12emotional connection with them stemming back thousands of years remains unbroken
00:16to this day their evolution millennia in the making has made them perfectly
00:25suited to us I'm working with somebody who's really much much cleverer than me
00:31their phenomenal senses make them an indispensable member of any team and
00:37their great sense of smell means they can detect diseases even in their earliest
00:42stages they saved my life for some a dog offers a last glimmer of hope it's really
00:50like having my best friend in the world right here in the cell with me you know
00:54what I mean like sometimes I don't want to talk to anybody else but I always
00:58want to hang out with my dog what makes them so unique in the animal world is
01:04their ability to communicate and understand that your dog is smarter than
01:10you think but why did dogs become our ideal companion and co-worker why are dogs so
01:18loyal that they would follow up to the ends of the earth what exactly is the
01:23secret behind this unique friendship
01:35in set a small town in northern Norway 240 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle
01:45the Greenland dogs here are the living inheritors of the ancient wolf genome they
01:51belong to one of the oldest dog breeds in the world here humans and dogs still lead a
02:05life left untouched by modernity I emigrated from Hamburg 30 years ago and set up a husky
02:15farm here when I first started offering guided tours my main goal was just being outside I
02:21wanted to be out in nature with the dogs it's kind of like living the life of a farmer who
02:26keeps to
02:27himself and doesn't get around too much and even though I haven't seen very much of the world
02:32somehow I can really say that I have found one of the most beautiful spots on earth
02:39it all started when Bjorn Clower was on a hiking tour across Norway he longed for a solitary life away
02:46from
02:46society a Greenland dog joined him on this journey not only pulling his bags but also keeping him
02:52company without the dog Bjorn would have grown very lonely
03:00Greenland dogs are just perfect for these extreme expeditions in the far north their thick fur protects
03:06them from temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius they are sled dogs through and through
03:13travel the informações they are whether the hell they are move from?

03:43Ciaran's routine with the dogs is dictated by the weather.
03:47In winter, he spends more than 100 days in the great outdoors.
03:52Each day, these bundles of energy run up to 60 kilometers.
03:59It is on these trips that Bjorn and the dogs have forged their special bond.
04:08The lead dog runs out in front of the team.
04:10He is the one that I communicate with, who I have direct contact with.
04:14He always wants to do everything just right.
04:16Just like all dogs, he wants to do everything right for his owner.
04:20But you have to build trust with the lead dog.
04:22That means the dog must first know that my commands are actually always good.
04:26I won't ever put them in danger.
04:28On the other hand, if the dog backs away from something, I must also know,
04:32OK, there's got to be something in the way.
04:35Your dog is basically your life insurance policy out here.
04:38And it trusts you no matter what.
04:42The highlands of northern Norway, seemingly endless, lonely tundra covered in dense snow for more than half a year.
04:51What has now become a passion for Bjorn was once essential to the survival of our Nordic ancestors.
04:59Blood dogs and humans have shared a close relationship for more than 2,000 years with nomads in Siberia,
05:07with Inuits, the natives of North America, and with the inhabitants of Greenland, the home of Bjorn's Greenland dogs.
05:18In a landscape dominated by ice and snow, our ancestors were dependent on their dogs.
05:25And not only for hunting.
05:26With their sleds, they were able to reach other settlements to buy and sell goods.
05:32The dogs played a key role in expanding trade routes.
05:40Even at this point in time, dogs proved themselves to be highly sociable animals.
05:46These endearing traits have endured until today.
05:55Sled dogs are the only working animals in the world that you cannot pressure to do what you want them
06:00to.
06:01They just have their own motivation, their joy of pulling, and their satisfaction of working in a team.
06:07Everything has to be fun, and I think that's really great.
06:11When I am on a tour, then I also have to work in the team.
06:14I don't just stand on the sled and say go when it goes uphill.
06:18I have to help, I have to walk, and if the snow is really deep, I may have to go
06:23grab my snowshoes.
06:24And it is this collaboration, in my opinion, which is the greatest experience.
06:29This really deepens our connection with nature even more.
06:35For thousands of years, sled dogs have been at our side, ready to help.
06:41And in the process, they've learned to understand us.
06:50When I'm there, standing on the sled, and watching the dogs having fun just running,
06:57and when I take in the mountains and enjoy the scenery, that's an unbelievable sense of freedom.
07:02We need some time.
07:08Our relationship with dogs are really quite remarkable.
07:13Dogs are among the few animals that can respond to where we look,
07:17where we point, and how we speak.
07:21According to recent studies, dogs are not only able to interpret our tone of voice,
07:26but actually understand exactly what we are saying to them.
07:32Researchers have found that dogs only feel appreciated when both our words and tone express praise.
07:40Also, how a dog tilts its head gives us another clue about how they understand language.
07:46It suggests that dogs process speech in much the same way as we humans do.
07:52Meaningful words are processed in the left half of the brain,
07:54and the tone of voice in the right.
08:09The unique, sophisticated ways in which we are able to communicate with dogs have changed lives.
08:15Dogs have taken on tasks that humans otherwise could not do on their own.
08:28These sheep dogs are very compulsive in their nature.
08:31Working sheep, it's almost like a drug to them.
08:34They love that drug.
08:35So they'll do anything to have the pleasure of hunting and working sheep.
08:41Here, on the English-Scottish border, is the home of the world's most famous herding dog, the Border Collie.
08:49Derek Scrimgore has lived in the mountains of Tumbria for the last 50 years.
08:54Besides running a sheep farm, he specializes in breeding Border Collies.
09:02The minute I started to work with the Border Collie, I realized this is a completely different type of dog.
09:07And it was clever, and it wanted to please me.
09:11And the whole concept of the dog working sheep felt like magic.
09:14It felt like magic, and it was just so intriguing.
09:26Compared to humans, dogs have a much more extensive field of vision.
09:31This is what makes them true masters of herding.
09:34While we perceive our environment like this,
09:38dogs see the world pretty much like this,
09:41with a field of vision of about 250 degrees.
09:44This means they are very sensitive to the movements all around them.
09:49This heightened awareness helps them watch over the sheep at all times.
09:54And to instantly recognize dangers.
09:58But what is most important is communication.
10:02Lynn listens carefully to Derek's commands.
10:18These brief commands are enough to let Lynn know which sheep she needs to take and where.
10:24Her work is a balancing act between obedience and acting on her own initiative.
10:39These dogs will run out half a mile easily and take directions left and right to fetch sheep to where
10:45we want them.
10:46I don't know anybody who can take direction like a dog.
10:49If anybody sort of gave me as many directions as I give my dog,
10:53I think I could stand it for about maybe 20 minutes before I left.
10:57Where these dogs will work all day and take advice and try to be helpful and keep an open mind.
11:03Which is, so they're very useful.
11:07The ancestors of the border collies lived in England and Scotland in the 16th century.
11:13Here, shepherds discovered their skills and developed them even further.
11:18Especially on large, bearing pastures, these dogs became indispensable.
11:23Only with their help could shepherds lead their sheep to fresh pastures and water.
11:39Even today, working in this vast landscape would be impossible without the dogs.
11:45The sheep are more than 800 meters away.
11:48But the shepherds can communicate with their dogs across this distance.
11:52Derek fully trusts his dogs and they, in turn, trust him.
12:10Derek teaches his dogs to channel their natural hunting behavior into their herding.
12:15To do this, the dogs use their special skills derived from hunting.
12:22To do this, the dogs are more than 800 meters.
12:26Targeting prey.
12:29Stalking it.
12:31And circling and getting their prey right where they want it.
12:36Lay down!
12:38There!
12:39Way!
12:41There now!
12:52For shepherds like Derek, the border collies are just as valuable as they were centuries ago.
13:05Every day, every minute of every day, I just enjoy working with the dogs.
13:10And especially when you get one that's a little bit better.
13:13Something that's a little bit special.
13:14Sometimes you get a dog that's just a little bit of a genius.
13:16In dog terms, he's much more of a genius than I could ever be.
13:19And I'm working with somebody who's really much, much cleverer than me.
13:23So this dog that I've got just now, Lynn, she's an example of that.
13:28She was born to work.
13:29The minute she started working, it was almost as if she'd been here before.
13:40Even to this day, many shepherds and herders around the world are only able to overcome
13:46their challenges with the help of these trusty dogs.
14:17Dogs, with their desire to work and live with humans, are quite unique in the animal world.
14:24Researchers even hypothesize that dogs have played an important role in our own development.
14:30Without our close relationship with dogs, humans would probably not be where they are today.
14:38One ability that has made dogs particularly important to us is their keen sense of smell.
14:44Unlike humans, dogs spend their lives immersed in a world of scent.
14:56Gratwein in Styria, Austria.
14:59Here, we meet some dogs that science is only now starting to catch up with.
15:08Today, Hans Högl is visiting Wolfgang Gleichweit and his dogs, Rocky and Lucy.
15:13Although he was having regular check-ups by his urologist,
15:17it was the dogs that were able to detect his prostate cancer in its initial stages.
15:21Could these dogs really have done that?
15:26I have no doubts at all. Because we know how well dogs can sniff out and pick up on things.
15:32They can find drugs, weapons and explosives.
15:36So why shouldn't they find cancer? In the end, those dogs saved my life.
15:46Wolfgang trains these cancer detection dogs at this farmhouse.
15:50Just over 10 years ago, this former police dog handler founded the world's first cancer
15:56detection canine team. It is all run entirely on donations.
16:02Despite widespread skepticism, those who believe in these dogs' unique talents
16:07are regularly sending out tubes filled with breath, urine and saliva.
16:18The new samples are placed in a beam.
16:21To make sure that the dog's nose is working properly,
16:25they include negative and positive control samples in the setup.
16:30But what exactly can these dogs smell?
16:34Cancer detection dogs are trained to detect odors released by certain tumor cells.
16:40Cancer cells are known to release alkaline odors.
16:44These scent molecules have been detected in breath samples from lung cancer patients
16:48and in the urine of prostate cancer patients.
16:52And it is exactly this odor that the dogs should be able to recognize.
17:00Wolfgang needs to make sure that Rocky sniffs each sample thoroughly so that no odor escapes his nose.
17:06Each cancer detection dog has developed their own individual signal when they find something.
17:14You always have to keep in mind that a human life is at stake.
17:18You cannot take this work lightly.
17:20You have to be careful to keep the error rates as low as possible.
17:25After each round, the beam is disinfected to get rid of odors left by the other dogs.
17:31Then the setup is repeated, placing the probes at different positions.
17:36This is repeated five times with five different dogs to do a thorough cross-check.
17:41We test and evaluate samples at least 15 times before we consider it positive or negative.
17:51Working under the close supervision of pulmonologists,
17:55Wolfgang Gleichweit conducted tests confirming the overwhelming accuracy of his trained sniffer dogs.
18:01From over 2200 documented cancer cases, 93% of their results have turned out to be correct.
18:10The dogs are actually my partners, my life's work.
18:14And the feedback we just received goes to show us how reliable they really are.
18:19And that is so rewarding.
18:21We know it's worked, and we've saved another human life.
18:24We have caught a disease in its initial stage that otherwise might have taken years to catch.
18:32Wolfgang's team is now planning to perform the cancer tests directly on humans.
18:39Dogs such as Bagheera, the Labrador, are currently being trained for this vision.
18:44This approach could prove particularly helpful in skin cancer detection.
18:50The Labrador first sniffs a cancer sample so it can recall the scent during the actual test.
18:56In this training session, the cancer smell on the volunteer subject comes from a tube sample attached to their arm.
19:04After the test phases, Bagheera is supposed to detect the cancer and indicate its location on the skin.
19:12With approximately 220 million olfactory cells, about 40 times as many as we humans have,
19:18dogs can pick up and distinguish between the faintest scents.
19:23They can even recognize a single scent molecule among a trillion others.
19:29Even now, we are unable to truly understand just how complex this world of scents is,
19:35which is why scientists still don't know how widely dogs can be used to sniff out things.
19:48In South Carolina, on the east coast of the United States, Lisa Briggs lives and works with her dog, Layla.
19:56She has trained her golden retriever to detect human remains for police investigations.
20:03Layla is a crossover dog, so she lives in my home with me.
20:07She goes everywhere with me. She's kind of a pet, and then I can put her vest on, and she's
20:14a working dog.
20:15She's just turned three, but already closed eight cases by finding human remains, so she's good at what she does.
20:31Layla is one of the few who can identify it.
20:32Trained cadaver dogs are thought to have the keenest sense of smell among all other dogs.
20:37The decomposition process creates a chemical cocktail of hundreds of different odors.
20:43Death's scent can truly take many forms, and Layla is one of the few who can identify it.
20:50My job is to read my dog. I've taught her what to do, but if, when we're out on a
20:56search,
20:56I have to pay attention to her body language. People, when they watch the dogs, they can see it
21:01through the tail, through the nose, through the air spinning. They may start barking early when they
21:08get into odor, and her job is to actually not just get me close to source, but actually get me
21:14right on the source.
21:24Good girl! Good girl! Good girl! Good girl, Layla! Good girl! Yay! Good girl!
21:45In a nearby forest, Layla is learning to sniff out different types of decomposition.
21:51They can be outdoors, underground, or even in water. Lisa has hidden a real decaying human hand,
21:58which is allowed in the U.S. for just this purpose. Thanks to her trained nose, Layla can detect a
22:04corpse in deep water, and even distinguish between a dead rat and human remains. For Layla, this is all
22:12just a game. When she plays, she gets rewards. And this is no different in a real case, when the
22:18police
22:18or family members are hoping to find important clues. My first search, and the first time I found
22:25human remains, I was depressed afterwards. I was very, very sad, because I felt sad for the victim. I felt
22:33sad for what we found. And then I realized I was making my dog sad, you know? And so I
22:39have to do a good job
22:40making sure that she stays happy at her job. So it's taken, you know, it's taken quite a bit of
22:49work to
22:50still remain a human being and have empathy for the family, but not to do so much of it that
22:58my dogs
22:59are picking up on the fact that I'm sad. Lisa and Layla work like a well-oiled machine, superior to
23:07many
23:07other forensic methods. But their work also shows how empathetic dogs can be.
23:18The most important people in dogs' lives are their owners.
23:24Dogs can identify with us and see things from our perspective, which is why we can rely on them
23:30and give them a lot of responsibility.
23:40In some cases, this close relationship can even change lives.
23:52Pina, an Australian shepherd dog, is trained
23:55to assist her owner, Carlotta Kramer, in her daily life.
24:00When Carlotta was 13 years old, she was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism.
24:10For me, I just cannot deal with crowds at all. And it's particularly hard for me to spend a lot
24:17of
24:17time with other people, especially when they're strangers, or to try out new things on my own.
24:24And it's very, very hard for me to talk to people if I don't know what's coming next.
24:39It was nearly impossible for the now 22-year-old to cope with everyday situations.
24:48Her entire life was blighted by limitations, depression, and even self-harming behavior.
25:01It was only when Tina came into her life that she found a way to escape her loneliness
25:07and started meeting other people.
25:12She helps me in my everyday life just by being there.
25:16When we go downtown together, people automatically step back, especially when she is wearing her
25:23service dog vest. People will say, oh, there's someone who needs help. Tina radiates charm and a
25:30special sense of responsibility. Dogs are perfect in this caretaking role because of their ability
25:41to develop empathy. They can feel when we are happy or sad. And this is something that Carlotta feels
25:49every day. You don't ever have to be afraid. And I think that's just the most important thing.
25:56I can count on her every second. She's always there for me. And she always makes me feel like
26:02I'm loved. And that there's someone here looking out for me.
26:07Thanks to Tina, Carlotta can now cope with daily life on her own. She can study. And she has found
26:14the
26:14love of her life. But most importantly, Tina has managed something incredible. To put a smile back on
26:20Carlotta's face dogs are observant and have the unique ability of putting themselves in our shoes.
26:43While we mainly communicate with them using our voice, they can actually read our faces like an
26:48open book. The thing is, our faces cannot lie. Intuitively, the right side of a person's face is
27:00more expressive than the left side. Therefore, we instinctively focus on this right hat when we want
27:06to understand the mood or feelings of our counterpart. It's our unconscious way to recognize each other's
27:11feelings. Scientists have now discovered that dogs look at us in exactly the same way we look at each
27:18other. They focus on our right side and recognize our feelings. This is why they have such insight
27:25into our thoughts and feelings. And they only do this with us, not with other dogs. But they can use
27:38this
27:38perceptiveness in other ways, too. They show how well they can read us through their favorite pastime,
27:46eating. Johanna has taught Mario to wait before he can start eating his food. So he's given a sign that
27:55he's not allowed to approach his bowl of food. Mario watches Johanna quite closely. Yet, at the same time,
28:09he never loses sight of the food he knows is waiting for him.
28:21Only when Mario feels that he's no longer being watched does he venture closer to his bowl. Always
28:28keeping a watchful eye on Johanna. Making sure she doesn't notice. Although Mario desperately wants
28:35his food, he's so smart that he adapts his behavior. In fact, he's weighing up the consequences he would
28:42face if he gets caught. He is constantly reassessing what Johanna can see and what she can't. This is a
28:53sign of
28:54great intelligence. And it's clearly why dogs are such good communicators and learners.
29:09Chaser is a Border Collie who has made history.
29:14Her owner is John Pilley, an American professor of psychology.
29:18Together, they have revolutionized science and shown that dogs are even more intelligent than was
29:24ever thought possible.
29:37Chaser came into John Pilley's life just after he retired.
29:42Sallie, my wife, retired of me moping around from retirement. She knew that I needed some new
29:51challenge. So Sallie told me one day, just before Christmas, you're going to have a new dog. And that
30:01made me happy.
30:07Yeah, pop up, got it. Here it comes, girl. Here it comes.
30:12Chaser has become John's four-legged research subject with some very surprising results.
30:20He noticed that Chaser learned and memorized things quite quickly when they played together.
30:36Chaser is eager to learn. All she has to do is hear John's verbal commands and her eyes lock onto
30:43her favorite ball, called blue.
30:45No, step, step. Step, step. One, two. Step, step. There. Step, stay, stay.
30:55Just drop, drop. Crawl, crawl, crawl. Crawl, girl. Crawl, crawl. Crawl, crawl. There. One, two, three.
31:06Good girl. You did good.
31:08The key thing that inspired me from the very beginning was when she learned the name of objects,
31:18or she showed that she knew the names of objects after one trial.
31:22Find soccer. Where's soccer? Find soccer. Find soccer, girl. That's it!
31:30We taught her three commands. We taught her to nose an object.
31:36We taught her to paw an object. And we taught her to take an object into her mouth. What we
31:45found was
31:46Chaser could obey those commands, demonstrating that each one of those words has an independent meaning.
31:56She knows Frisbee. Knows Frisbee. Knows Frisbee. Good girl. Chase. Take Peanuts. Good girl. Good girl.
32:04Okay, I'll chase Paul Powderpuff. Good. Chase. Take Powderpuff. Do it. Take Powderpuff. Take. Good girl. Good girl.
32:17Where we've recently gone further with this research is that we've gone beyond two words.
32:24We've gone to the point of having three elements of grammar.
32:33Chase, to blue, take powder puff.
32:36Do it, girl. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it, girl. Do it. Do it. Do it.
32:42Yes, good girl. That's it. That's it. That's it.
32:46Okay. Out, out. To pop up. To pop up.
32:50Chase was asked to take certain objects to another object.
32:57Now, she did that correctly, indicating her understanding of syntax.
33:05Now, at one time, I would say to powder puff, take peanuts, and then to peanuts, take powder puff.
33:11And so we used, in our major study, the three elements of grammar using objects so that we could demonstrate
33:21not just syntax, the learning the rules of grammar,
33:25but also the semantics, where the meaning was changed when the words or objects were inverted in the sentence.
33:39John Pilly has published his findings about Chaser in numerous scientific publications.
33:44Good girl.
33:45Other dog researchers have reviewed his studies and found Chaser is hardly an isolated case.
33:51Rather, canine intelligence has been underestimated until now.
34:00Chaser's love of games, her instincts, and her bond with her owner show the world what dogs are capable of
34:07doing.
34:08Chaser has become a star, and is known as the smartest dog in the world.
34:13Good girl.
34:16Yeah, you're the smartest dog.
34:18Yeah, you're so sweet.
34:20Learning the names of over a thousand objects, learning common nouns,
34:25these kinds of findings definitely show what dog lovers have always known,
34:33that their dog is smarter, really, than they think.
34:41Intelligent, sensitive, loyal, and outgoing.
34:46No wonder dogs are such popular pets the world over.
34:49And they have yet another quality that hardly anyone can resist.
34:55Their gentle, pleading eyes.
34:58This feature developed especially for their relationship with humans,
35:01and has played a central role in their evolutionary history.
35:05And these eyes are more powerful than we think.
35:09When we see our dogs as a baby with fur, there's actually science behind it.
35:14When they stare into our eyes, the same hormones that bind a mother to her newborns get activated.
35:22Oxytocin and dopamine.
35:24The cuddle hormone and the happiness hormone.
35:27We fall for this baby-like cuteness every time.
35:39But even dogs themselves are not immune to this rush of love.
35:43They also have a hormonal response to us.
35:57Gwinnett County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, has launched a unique program.
36:02Prisoners take in dogs from a nearby animal shelter and look after them day and night.
36:07And train them until they've found a new home.
36:13Michael Palmroy has been looking after his pit bull mix, Roxy, for three years now.
36:19You know, jail kind of takes you away from your family.
36:22You get removed from the people you love.
36:24And, you know, I've been here almost three years.
36:27And after a while, everybody kind of starts to...
36:30You get less and less postcards.
36:32And people answer the phone less.
36:33So it's really like having my best friend in the world right here in the cell with me.
36:39You know what I mean?
36:39Like, sometimes I don't want to talk to anybody else, but I always want to hang out with my dog.
36:44I'll come back from court.
36:45I may have bad news from the judge.
36:48And she's there.
36:50And it's unconditional.
36:51You know what I mean?
36:51She's just...
36:53If I don't want to play and all that, she'll just sit down next to me and lay down and
36:57be there for me.
37:03I made some bad decisions.
37:06A hotel room got raided.
37:08They found a large amount of heroin.
37:10And I've been sitting here for a while just kind of waiting on a better plea offer, really.
37:19These dogs, like Roxy, come from a shelter just around the corner from the jail.
37:33Sheriff Brad Dougherty is the driving force behind this program, which he has called Operation Second Chance.
37:40He focuses on dogs that are in a critical situation and would be put down unless they are quickly adopted.
37:48Like this little old one, Charlotte.
38:01Charlotte is an 11-year-old poodle.
38:06We know that she's got an abscess tooth.
38:10And other than that, medically, we're not sure.
38:17It breaks my heart, the things that happen to these dogs.
38:21But when I see them being loved and cared for and nurtured by these inmates,
38:31and I watch these dogs transform from victims to members of families,
38:40it makes it all worthwhile.
38:41Wow.
38:48Then we have the inmates.
38:50A lot of these guys have never had love or respect given to them.
38:58And these dogs love these men, and they need these guys.
39:06The inmates are doing great.
39:08The program is working.
39:21We very rarely have any kind of behavioral issues in these units.
39:27The dogs just seem to bring a piece in there.
39:30It's quieter than most.
39:31You know, you would think with a bunch of dogs that it would be very noisy, but it's not.
39:35It's very quiet.
39:36It's very clean, very quiet.
39:38And everybody behaves themselves.
39:40It's just a peaceful place.
39:47This close bond between the dogs and prisoners can do a lot.
39:53Many of these men are able to see themselves in the dogs, rejected and abandoned.
39:59And the dogs help them come to terms with their past and present actions and behavior.
40:09Before I got arrested, I was real impulsive.
40:11You know, if I wanted to do something, I went and did it.
40:13If I had a thought, I went and did it.
40:15It was an immediate, like, there was no thinking through and decision-making.
40:21When you're training a dog, you can't be impulsive like that.
40:24You can't be crazy, hyperactive.
40:27You know what I mean?
40:27Because they'll respond to that and it'll make them worse.
40:30It's brought me a long way.
40:31It made me a lot more ready to transition back into society.
40:37You know, I was a mess.
40:39I was a mess before I got arrested.
40:42More than 400 dogs from the program have been adopted by new families since 2010.
40:47Michael hopes that won't happen with Roxy and she can stay with him.
40:51I would cry my own.
40:53I'd cry.
40:54I'm not going to hide it either.
40:55I've seen grown men in this one many, many times.
40:59You know, they get really touched with their dog.
41:01Their dog will get adopted and they'll lock themselves in their room and cry.
41:07It's like I said earlier.
41:08It's like a kid.
41:09You know what I mean?
41:10It's like your kid just got adopted and ran off.
41:13She knows I'm talking about her.
41:15Thank you, Deborah.
41:17Our relationship with dogs is something very special.
41:21It is built on a foundation of positivity, trust, and loyalty.
41:27Dogs don't judge us.
41:28They only want us to see them as they are.
41:32And finally, there's one last secret to be revealed.
41:36Dogs' brains respond to us with the same feelings
41:39in the same brain areas as we respond to them.
41:43This means we can now answer the most pressing question on every dog owner's mind.
41:47Yes, your dog does truly love you.
41:51And that is probably the secret to our wonderful and lasting friendship.
41:59The next time you feel right, everything's going wrong, just remember you're never alone.
42:12You've always got your, you've always got your, you've always got your friends.
42:21You've always got your, that's what to do there for you, Paul.
