All hail dogs

BBC News may as well go off the air today, because they're never going to be better.

For first time in history (probably), a dog was featured as a panelist on a renowned news program. There were some other people on TV, too, but to be honest we didn't pay them any attention. 

The premise of the segment was a new study that concludes dogs can tell the difference between happy and angry facial expressions. Basically, scientists have proven that dogs know their owners better than the owners know themselves, a fact most of us aren't surprised by at all.

The guest of honor, a Labrador named Bounce (who just so happens to belong to the animal psychologist they were also interviewing), pretty much stole the show. He owned that stage, whether he was sniffing things, yawning, or trying to get down off the human chair the producers forced him to sit on. While the animal psychologist made some interesting points about scientific stuff we weren't listening to, it was Bounce who had truly prolific statements (see: aforementioned yawn). 

We're now going to expect all of our newscasts to have a dog on the panel going forward. Your move, Today show puppy
