Scientific American has ruffled some serious feathers after citing a study that claims dogs are "cognitively quite ordinary." The study, which was published in the journal Learning and Behavior, claims that there is no evidence of canine genius when compared to other animals. The study suggests that humans create an environment that allows for our "best friends" to seem more intelligent than they actually are. If this information has you shook, you're not alone. In response, dog lovers rabidly took to Twitter to denounce the controversial study - even Dictionary.com has weighed in. Whether the study is true or not, we think dogs would take comfort in the fact that their owners are as fiercely loyal as they are.
