Hello Geoff,

I am new to the ATEG Listserv, and your e-mail was only the third I have received.  I was pleasantly surprised to see it addressed to someone named "Brad" and sent from someone named "Layton!"  :)   So ... I couldn't resist saying a quick hello.

I'm looking forward to reading and learning from the dialogue.

Best,

Brad Layton
Lubbock, Texas

Brad, 
 
When I read this, I immediately thought of you (as I do whenever I run into the past perfect)
 

As it happens, a team of animal behaviorists led by Jenny Ryon at Dalhousie University had explored this very question of canine's penchant for perfume in 1986. Their study wasn't with dogs—to the best of my knowledge, no controlled studies on scent-rubbing with domesticated dogs have ever been done—but with a very close relative instead: the wolf (Canis lupus). 



Any comments?
