A canine geneticist and an expert in animal behavior showed this to be the case and their research agrees with previous studies, but because you happen to think otherwise, it must not be true.

Maybe I'm missing something and you can help me out, but I really don't understand this sort of thinking.

I believe you’ve missed the sarcasm and humour in the way the above comment was phrased. :)

That's entirely possible! Apologies if that is the case.
