🐕 Why won't your Shiba Inu come when called?
Popular theory: wolf DNA. Japanese dogs carry 2-4% of their genome from the extinct Japanese wolf.
But no causal link is proven, and breed explains only ~9% of dog behavior.

Dogs have a vomeronasal organ that detects pheromones via a separate neural pathway, letting them taste chemical signals. This helps explain interest in urine marks and right-nostril sniffing for novel or threatening scents. #dogscience #dogs
