«You don’t need a baby face to have a puppy mind,» Dr Telkanranta notes. There are some differences between breeds and individuals in how far they grow up mentally. However, they are not tied to nose length or other recent changes in dog anatomy. «While some of the dogs with very short noses may look like babies to a human eye, making them attractive to some, this actually is a deformity that risks a dog’s health without adding to the youthfulness of its mind,» she says. «Similarly to dogs with short legs, which often have a mutation that makes them prone to back pain, these characteristics were first developed by breeders who did not know of the associated health issues. Nowadays, when scientists and veterinarians have much more knowledge, it is important to use it to improve dogs’ health.»How can at-risk breeds be developed towards better health? And how can an owner recognize whether their dog has painful issues, and what can be done to alleviate them? The new book by Dr Telkanranta and her team, The Mind of a Dog. Science Meets Comics, explores these and many other secrets to a happier life.
