    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on a research published in the 2009 issue of "Advances in the Study of Behavior" about the use of dogs to study human behavior. Jozsef Topal was the lead author of the research paper. Social human behaviors such as cooperation and understanding of verbal and non-verbal communication are similar to those of dogs. Topal and his team suggest that dogs should take the role of chimpanzees in conducting comparative studies.
