They have an amazing ability to remember smells. My neighbor's family and his dog, Beo, moved to the South to live. 12 years later I had the opportunity to visit their family again. The leopard carefully sniffed near my knees and then pounced on me excitedly. Me and my friend were also surprised that he still remembers me even though I have changed a lot since I was 9 years old.
They do remember. The informations are processed in parts in the amygdala, which just as in humans is connected to memories, feelings, fear and stuff. I always say dogs are the better humans and indeed, their physiology is not to much off from hours. Animals period. What dog was it? you said Leopard, a Catahoula?
It's just a local breed, not a dog imported from outside
I know the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog. Beautiful dogs. That's why I asked lol. Well, off to work...see you later 😄
