Concept learning in animals. (2008, background): “Kastak and Schusterman have shown just such learning in California sea lions and more recently Kaminski, Call, and Fischer (2004) have found evidence for learning by exclusion in a domestic dog.”
How to ascribe beliefs to animals (2020, background): “individual objects and understand structured orders (like “bring Timi”, where Timi is one out of 200 objects known by a dog (Kaminski et al., 2004)).”
Evolution of the brain and intelligence. (2005, positive): “Finally, recent reports on high intelligence in animals with relatively small brains, such as corvid birds and dogs, has raised once again the discussion about the relationship between brain and intelligence [1, 2 ].”

The Evolution of Language: A Comparative Review (2005, positive): “Dogs can rapidly learn the meanings of many human words (Kaminski et al. 2004).”
The dog as a model for understanding human social behavior (2009, background): “In the dog there is some evidence that observing conspecifics can lead to improved performance (Kubinyi et al., 2009). Slabbert and Rasa (1997), for instance, demonstrated that young police dog puppies left with their mother until 3 months old and provided with the opportunity to observe the bitch s”
