> Hi there Brad Layton! Welcome to the listserve and, I assume to ATEG! If you're not a member, I encourage you to join - particularly as you will receive as part of your membership a copy of our the latest (and, as a new editor, I'd like to add "greatest") issue of the ATEG Journal. The membership form is available on the website (ateg.org), but unfortunately it isn't interactive, so you have to print it out and mail it to our president, Amy Benjamin (somebody pointed out that the correct PO Box is "92" not "80")

> 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.

> 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).
