I read the other day that the difference between wolves and dogs socially is very similar to the difference between neuro typical people and those with Williams syndrome.
I'm not sure what to do with this information but I'm finding myself looking at dogs really differently, now.
@bencurthoys I was vaguely aware but not of that word.
I get that too - but the way that people with Williams syndrome experience the world and other people - suddenly seeing that in a dog's behaviour has made me go "oh".
Yeah so I'm not at all thinking of the physical characteristics of the syndrome, rather the way they interact - or want to interact - with others.
