Abstract
Dog cognition research suffers from the same biases as general psychology—that mainly dogs from WEIRD countries are investigated.
WEIRD means that the tested humans and dogs come from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic societies.
A new study assessed data on the functions and treatment of dogs in 124 globally distributed societies.
The more functions dogs have in a society, the closer the dog-human relationship is likely to be.
