🚨 Calling all researchers in animal behavior & cognition!
The ManyDogs Project is launching its next big collaborative study: ManyDogs 2 — and we want YOU to join us!
🔍🐕‍🦺What do we want know? We're investigating overimitation in dogs: Do dogs copy irrelevant actions just because their favorite human does them?
