All Dog Bones Are Not Created Equal

Here is an image of two identical dog bones.  Right?

The answer is yes, if you are a human.  If you are a dog or can for a moment see through the eyes of a dog, the bone they want is the one you give to the other dog.  That’s just how it works.  Show them, tell them, even try to trick them, and they know they have the wrong bone.  They are supposed to have the bone the other dog has until, of course they do, then the rotation starts all over again. 

Finally, if you are lucky, they will actually chew on a bone and relinquish their obsession with the other –  if but only for a moment.
