Theory of mind and GSD

[LindaM]

Lukey I'm sure does things and pre-thinks what he is going to do so for example on one occasion having his AB tablets he had one and then hid the other one under something and sat there 'innocent as you like with his front paws crossed'

He will take one sock out of the machine or tumble drier and put it on the floor and I will find it and he is just 'laying there all chilled'. It happens too often to be a co-incidence. I pick it up and think 'oo did I drop this' but no I don't think I did. I never see him do these things, how can a big black dog creep past and do something like this - OK I wear glasses but

My daughter has a psychology degree and we laugh about him and she says he has 'theory of mind' whereby he can plan to do things and has (OK limited) imagination.

Or is it me going 'to the dogs'

Nah you can physically see Olli looking around the room plotting his next devilment! He doesn't even bother to sneak when he's feeling that way out! His eyes spell out mischief!

They are a cleaver breed, I am sure they know just what they are doing, with three you see it all the time, especialy where toys or beds are concerned

[LOVEGSD]

This made me laugh, GSD's are a special breed,,,x

[LindaM]

haha so he is planning it.

It must be funny and fascinating with a few. He mainly interacts with me and never seems to make a move 'for nothing' - you just can't explain this to people.

Nice to share with you
