What Pets Actually Want & Need | Dr. Karolina Westlund

And the small dog is like pulling and really trying to get the thing. And the big dog is just standing there doing nothing. But then if a human takes over the toy and starts pulling, then the big dog will engage and start showing more of his strength and escalate that behavior.

I think it makes sense from the evolutionary perspective that social animals who live in a cohesive social group are good at reading each other's emotional state and also good at sort of trying to buffer negative emotions if it's possible to do that. And so I would expect it with any of the sort of more cognitively advanced species, I would expect some type of empathy.

Fairness, yeah. There was this experiment done on capuchin monkeys by Franz Duval and his team. And apparently they did it and they published a paper on it and nobody read it. And then like a decade later โ€“ And in preparation for a presentation, they redid some of the experiment and filmed it. And he shared that on the presentation.

I don't know if you've seen it, but essentially it's two capuchin monkeys and they're next to one another so they can each see what the other is getting. And they're asked to do a task, like give a... The researcher hands them a rock and they hand it back to the researcher and then they get a reinforcer, so a treat as payment for that behavior. And so the first monkey...

gets a piece of cucumber, and he's happy he eats that cucumber. And then the researcher turns towards the second monkey and requests the same behavior, gets the same behavior, and feeds that animal a grape. And capuchins... are not too enthusiastic about cucumbers, but they really love grapes. So when she then turns back to the first monkey again and repeats the behavior and again feeds that one,

a cucumber that he was happy to eat like 30 seconds ago. He actually throws a tantrum and throws it back at the researcher, sort of going, I saw that you fed the other guy a grape. And the audience is laughing. So it's like, I think we all recognize that situation that we take a front to somebody else getting paid better for the same quality of work.
