I have never been asked where and how I would like to live. But if someone had asked me, I would have chosen everything as it came. And so it was: On Boxing Day 2011 I moved in with my human family. I was still very small and awkward then, but they taught me everything a puppy needs to know to get along in the world of humans. Today I teach them everything that is mandatory to live with a dog. Pure underachievement. The highlights of my fulfilling existence are the days at the university, where I meet people of my intellectual level who appreciate a thougtful academic discourse. My social and multilingual skills are also valued here.

On the right-hand side you find a link to a recent research project - Beloved - that I had initiated a couple of years ago. It nicely demonstrates that all you need if you feel lonely at older age is a dog.

Also on the right a bit further down you will find links to research publications about the astounding cognitive and communication capabilities of the most amazing creatures on this planet - member of the species Canis Lupus Familiaris.
