Fellow Creatures - New Post
At my Fellow Creatures blog on Psychology today, a new post looks at some research on how the owners of Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, and Pugs, perceive the health of their dog.
By Zazie Todd, PhD
The study shows they have a very close bond with their dog, but the concern is some health issues are missed or as seen as 'normal' for the breed. Read more in health issues in brachycephalic dogs are often missed.
The study also reports on common health issues in these dogs, and on the common surgeries they may have as a result of the conformation.
