Dogs have been domesticated longer than any other animal, and have evolved and been bred to attune to human behavior.

I’m sure that every single person who lives with electricity has, at one time or another experienced a power outage. Or at the very least woke up some morning with all of their clocks flashing 88:88. The occasional power outage is just a fact of life. Now some folks, like myself,...
