Many dog owners believe their pets understand and respond not only to commands such as “sit” and “stay,” but also to words referring to their favorite objects. A new study in Hungary has found that beyond being able to respond to commands like “roll over,” dogs can learn to associate words with specific objects — a relationship with language called referential understanding that had been unproven in dogs until now. "When we are talking about objects, objects are external to the dogs, and dogs have to learn that words refer, they stand for something that is external to them,” said Marianna Boros, a cognitive neuroscientist and co-lead author of the study conducted by the Department of Ethology of the Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest.

Laura Kelly. Kansas would join 24 other states in banning or restricting gender-affirming care for minors, the latest being Wyoming last week.
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren and other Democratic lawmakers renewed calls for financial regulators to direct the use of a payment code for firearms retailers, citing conflicting new state laws on the matter, a March 27 letter seen by Reuters shows. A total of 33 U.S. senators and representatives urged regulators including U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to issue guidance for banks and payment networks to implement a new "merchant category code," or MCC, approved by an international standards body in 2022.
