      So I guess first I should mention that in science there are very strict rules and ethics (what is right and wrong) with doing experiments with animals to make sure the animals are treated well and do not suffer.

      I have two dogs named Jack and Charlie, but until I can find certified doggy laser safety goggles sadly they can’t join me in the lab to help with my experiments.

      I have however done experiments with them! One experiment I tried was that I took their ball and put it on top of the door, they obviously couldn’t reach it, I showed them that if they close the door the ball would fall. I put the ball back on top of the door and one at a time checked if they could understand how to get the ball down. Jack took 10 seconds to figure it out and was happily chewing away on his ball, but charlie turned out to be not so bright and still can’t figure it out!
