DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

The article suggests how one can do research on dogs. If you know a dog that waits by the door before a family member arrives home, try doing a simple experiment. Ask them what time they began their journey home, the way in which they traveled, and whether it is a routine time for them to arrive. If the animal does not wait by the door, that should be recorded, too. Set up a video camera to record, with a date and time stamp, in the location where the dog usually waits, and leave it running. Record your results in your logbook and save the videotape. Make a line graph of each day's experiment and compare the graphs.
