Udell, Dorey, and Wynne (2011) demonstrated that both domesticated and nondomesticated canids-specifically, gray wolves-have the capacity to succeed on perspective-taking tasks, suggesting that dogs' ability to respond to the human attentional state is not a by-product of domestication alone. Furthermore, not all dogs were successful on the task. Instead, the occluder type used was a strong predictor of performance, indicating the important role of environment and experience for tasks of this type. Here, we address several commentaries reflecting on the methods and design of that study, as well as the interpretation of the results. We also discuss the positive shift toward more interactive approaches in the field of canine behavior and cognition. Finally, we question the functionality of describing canine social behavior in terms of theory of mind.

Tibial Plateau Angle Changes following Repair of Salter-Harris Type 1 and 2 Fractures in Dogs.
Vet Comp Orthop Traumatol
January 2025
Veterinary Specialists of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Objective: To determine (1) whether the tibial plateau angle (TPA) in dogs with Salter-Harris type 1 (SH-1) or type 2 (SH-2) fractures of the proximal tibial physis significantly decreases in the time between diagnosis and reevaluation following surgical repair and (2) whether the method of surgical repair influences the change in TPA over time.
Study Design: This study was a retrospective study. Medical records from 2017 to 2022 were reviewed to identify dogs with SH-1 or SH-2 fractures of the proximal tibial physis that had undergone surgical repair with Kirschner wires (K-wires), with or without a tibial tuberosity tension band.
Minimally Invasive Radial-Ulnar and Tibial Fracture Management with Supracutaneous Locking Plates in Dogs and Cats.
Vet Comp Orthop Traumatol
January 2025
Department of Surgery, University of Ondokuz Mayıs, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Samsun, Turkey.
Objective: This study aimed to report the clinical, radiographic, and computed tomography results of supracutaneous locking plate (SLP) application in radial-ulnar and tibial fractures.
Study Design: In this clinical prospective study, cats and dogs with nonarticular radial, ulnar, and tibial fractures were managed with SLP. Surgical records, fracture healing, complications, and lameness were reviewed during scheduled rechecks.
Proper alignment of the teeth not only aids in functional occlusion but also promotes harmonious gingival contours, potentially reducing the risk of inflammation and gingival recession. This case series aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of optimizing axial inclination through clear aligner orthodontic treatment in addressing gingival recession defects. This case series included nine patients, aged 20-36 years, who presented with varying degrees of gingival recession on 12 mandibular incisors.

Department of Cardiology, Uenonomori Animal Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Objectives: Surgical options for mitral valve repair in dogs are unstandardized and influenced by various factors. This study describes a four-point surgical technique (MI-4) to reduce mitral regurgitation and provides data from a study of dogs with 12 months of follow up.
Methods: Twenty-five dogs with stages C or D mitral insufficiency were treated by one of two surgeons using the MI-4 procedure at Ueno no Mori Animal Hospital between October 2021 and May 2023.
Comparison of sentinel lymph node mapping patterns before and after surgical excision of mast cell tumors in dogs using indirect lymphography: A prospective clinical study.

Article Synopsis
- Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping is crucial for staging dogs with mast cell tumors (MCTs), but many are referred to oncologists after surgery.
- A study involving 29 dogs aimed to see if lymphatic drainage patterns change before and after tumor removal by comparing SLN mapping results.
- The findings showed that surgical intervention did affect lymphatic drainage, with only 46.7% of cases showing complete agreement in SLN identification before and after surgery.
