Can canines manipulate their alpha wolf or dog like they manipulate some of their human owners?

Great paragraph - It applies to me 100% Legit: They nuzzle into my arm to get me to pat them.

Interesting article. Dogs certainly are opportunistic. Yes we are all victims of the stare here also.

There's no noise involved, but there may be some kind of psychic energy being employed- she's been reading up on hypnosis in her free time. She used to come into the bedroom in the early morning wanting to go outside, wait by my pillow and stare. When that didn't work she'd grab the end of the pillow in her mouth and give a quick yank, sending my head to the mattress with a thump.

If I tried to ignore that, she'd do the same thing with the blankets. She's not subtle. So.... yep, I have learned to respond to the stare much quicker now.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
