Dog Training Using Pointing Gesture - Featuring Boudicca 092209

Interesting stuff. I recently watched a documentry on the evolution of dogs and it said besides humans dogs are the only other animal able to understand the pointing gesture (not even the great apes) and are able to pick up on the direction of where we look. I believe it's to do with when our ancestors hunted with primitive dogs (first domesticated wolves) using hand signals to coordinate a hunt.
