Animal Laughter: Do Pets Have a Sense of Humor?
Chances are, if you have pets, you have witnessed a time when you can see their sense of humor come out. When your dog brings you their toy over and over, or when your cat sits on your computer as you furiously work on a deadline and you can see their sardonic side shine through. But do animals really have a sense of humor? The Pet Experts at Springbrook Animal Care Center went looking for answers, and we’re bringing you what we found, here.
Beyond Sit: Our Favorite Fun and Useful Dog Tricks
Any veterinarian, groomer, or dog trainer would probably agree that teaching a dog essential commands is key to helping them live a harmonious life in human society.

It also gives them enjoyable and life-affirming experiences, such as walks, outings, and social events.
