'The key specialization of dogs, though, is that dogs pay attention to humans, when humans are doing something very human, which is sharing information about something that someone else might actually want. Dogs aren't smarter than chimps; they just have a different attitude toward people. Dogs are really interested in humans,' Hare went on. 'Interested to the point of obsession. To a dog, you are a giant walking tennis ball.'
