Researchers find dog have longer memories than chimps

Any dog owner will tell you how smart they think their dog is. What we usually think of as smartness in dogs is measured or observed in their external behaviour. Being able to respond to commands, for example, or remember the location of a hidden toy. Researchers have shown that dogs have significant capacity to remember associations between commands, situations and behaviour. Recent research even showed that dogs can remember specific events like humans and other primates can.
