Dogs have a talent for keeping us entertained and confused. One moment, they're zooming around the house at full speed, and the next, they're staring at a wall, spinning in circles before lying down, or bringing you a toy only to run away when you reach for it. While these behaviors might seem random, many of them have surprisingly logical explanations rooted in evolution, instinct, communication, and canine psychology.

He shared insights into some of the strangest habits dogs display, helping explain why our four-legged companions behave in ways that often leave humans scratching their heads.
