How Empathetic Is Your Dog?

(YouTube link)

Would your dog go out of his/her way to help you if you really needed it? We'd all like to think so. This experiment involved 34 dogs of different breeds and how they reacted to seeing their humans in distress. The good news is that most of them wanted to help, or at least be with, their owners. One might suspect that some were just too dumb to know what to do. Others may be smart enough to realize it was a setup. At least that's what we'd like to think. After all, they are all good dogs.

Too damn funny! It's a smart time saving move though maybe their learning something down there. I'm sure they'd fit in well with the current business world.

If they copied it "word for word" then they are just stupid lazy people who didn't take their task seriously. These are probably a bunch of kids that thought it would help pad their resumes or look good on a grad school application.

Ugh please.

How is replicating another school's law / rule / code plagiarism? That falls in the realm of fair use. Lots of governing organizations "steal" ideas from others policies, by-laws, and regulation. There is no need to cite.

Borrowing ideas is one thing. Borrowing text word-for-word without acknowledging your source is plagiarism.

Every student in every college/university has the rules about plagiarism hammered into their noggins from Day 1.
