No doubt a relief to some (many?) However, I much want to share the news with you that dogs can count and add. A Prof Young, interviewed on BBC Radio this morning, has apparently proved this with some sophisticated experiments involving reaction times. . . . . now, I've often wondered. The last thing I do before I go to bed is to give my dog, Lottie, two biscuits. I have, in fact, experimented on occasion by giving her one, or perhaps three of four, and I've noticed that she looks at me in quite different ways (positively or negatively!) when departing from the usual two. It's hardly scientific, I know, but I'm sure Lottie will make a decent enough economist in due course. She's only three-years-old now so I can't expect many creative breakthroughs on our morning dogwalks until she's got the basics such as Smith or Ricardo under her collar. But I hope something interesting will emerge in due course and I will, of course, share these thoughts with FW if they do.
