SECRETS OF THE CANINE MIND Jeffrey
Kluger’s May 22 feature about new research on
how dogs think got high marks as a “well-observed
article” in a tweet from dog trainer and pet
behaviorist Karen Wild. But readers Susan Brown
of Brookeville, Md., and
A.A. Lloyd of Asheville,
N.C., both argued that a
study Kluger described—
in which a psychologist
faked a heart attack
while walking a dog and
the dog did not look for
help—did not account
for whether dogs can tell
the difference between
a fake crisis and a real
crisis. Meanwhile, reader
Jane Mesches of Frisco,
Texas, sent an email
“signed” by Mickie, her
family dog, to provide frsthand proof of the dog-
human communication described in the story: “I
can attest to the fact that the gaze works. I use the
gaze at dinnertime, and I get fed.”

What you
said about ...
TRUMP AFTER HOURS“I won!”
LateShow
host Stephen Colbert exclaimed after
President Trump described him as a
“no-talent guy” in an interview accompany-
ing Michael Scherer and ZekeJ. Miller’s
May 22 cover story.
“Don’t you know
I’ve been trying for a
year to get you to say
my name” Colbert
joked. Kathie Cook
of Sequim, Wash.,
said the article’s
most “telling”
insight was Trump’s
frustration over the
press coverage of
his presidency—
coverage that, she
added, “is playing
a critical role in
holding people accountable.” For Igor
Shpudejko of Goodyear, Ariz., however, what
stood out most was Scherer and Miller’s
observation that Trump seemed to be
enjoying “thetrappings of power.” And, he
added, “Who wouldn’t”
‘As a Trump
supporter,
I have to
say “Trump
After Hours”
was fair
and even-
handed.’
ROBERT HAUGHEY,
Palm Beach
Gardens, Fla.
‘Can’t get it
out of my
mind that
science
may have
wronged
the dog.’
DONNELL RUBAY,
Benicia, Calif.
