Valerie KattzUnmasking the Guilty Paw-Ty


Thursday, July 8, 2010
Coachella Valley, California


Story and photos by Valerie Kattz

I always wondered what my dogs did when they thought I wasn’t looking. How did they spend their time during the long hours I was at work?

Story and photos by Janet Walker

If you’re a dog owner like me, I’m sure you have occasionally been puzzled by some of your beloved pet’s seemingly unusual behavior.

According to psychologist and cognitive scientist Alexandra Horowitz’s book “Inside of a Dog — What Dogs See, Smell, and Know,”

Story and Photos by Janet Walker

 

The tiny ball of white fluff whizzed at me as I was taking my walk in the neighborhood. "Whoa," I thought, "step aside for a dynamite dog!" But then I realized that the pooch was heading straight for a busy intersection with nary an owner in sight — time to take evasive action. I distracted it (we later found it was a her) and managed to get hold of the collar. Still no owner in sight, so I finally picked up this tiny bundle of friendly energy and walked
