Dogs are a gift. Humans are so lucky and SO lacking in the deserved appreciation of dogs on Earth

I've worked with dogs for 45 years. In never impressed by what humans teach them. I'm impressed by what you LEARN from them!

I know one thing for sure my life would not be complete without my dogs

I have had a dog since my open heart surgery in 2014. I believe all you say is true. Love dogs.

I learnt to love dogs! I was so scared of them. I had one who died as a child...I miss him

Well that's pretty much the best job ever! Being able to travel to some of the most beautiful places in the world....with your dog!! How could it get any bettet?

This is one of the few good "TED Talks" on dogs. Unfortunately, "TED" doesn't have peer-review so there is a lot of nonsense out there. Well done and informative.

My dog 🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺serve as body guard.. security,companion , playmate, teammate and entertainer.

The first few minutes of Megan Parker's talk up to the plane giraffe collision should be a talk unto itself. It's a cautionary tale about the push of technology. Are we really civilized? Is it worth such reliance on technology if it causes stress on our natural environment?

Thank you ma'am.i live in the forest with dogs as primary security guards. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🕛🎊🎊

Parker great great talk . Inspiring , Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.

AWESOME !

not 50,000 years ago from a BBC article: Dogs most probably evolved from wolves at a single location about 20,000 to 40,000 years ago, a study suggests. ... By looking at the rates of change to the DNA from the oldest specimen, scientists were able to place the timing of the domestication of dogs to between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago.

So...dogs did the work, you took the credit. What did you do with these shelter dogs who did so much work for you? Plop them back in shelters?

Did you kill a giraffe with that plane? The least you could have done in this video was not to shrug it off, but to explain and apologise. I'm stunned.

Considering the plane and the way the giraffe is just left sprawled I assume they killed the giraffe. I would also believe they didn't check. I'm with you. I think they were careless and callous. How exactly DO you het a giraffe? After they were careless and callous she simply used the giraffe as an amusing anecdote or sidebar. I have zero respect for her and her people.

That's what we're here for...

..."Should have been more worried about ourselves oh, and the giraffe.." YabTHINK? you didn't DIE, the giraffe DIED.N what a ditz.

Is it 50,000 as she said or 15,000 years as the subtitle showed ? Did anyone proofread this thing before it was presented? How smart are they not to even proofread to spot 15,000 versus 50,000 years ?

Hi, could you please tell me if at 9:28 the man says "as the best goes on" or "as the VEST goes on" (referring to the dog's vest)? I'm not an English native speaker and I'm trying to discern this.

I don't trust her. Looking at that poor giraffe...I believe her to be careless and callous. I wonder if they even checked big it was dead or just assumed and left it there; a humerous anecdote. What kind of personal does that?

Please, intro music is SO annoying!!!

Great video but instead of a toy how about feeding him more there’s a lot of rib showing 😬

Actually that dog looks very healthy and athletic! We are so used to seeing morbidly obese dogs that we have no idea what good body condition looks like. There is nothing wrong with this dog, it looks great.

And the FN Chinese eat them!

Very interesting, and at first I thought: maybe there's new evidence (for the cancer-sniffing accuracy of dogs)… but after the poorly executed example-performance I lost confidence in her. It's obvious SHE knew were the poop was, she more or less showed her dog. Don't get me wrong, I'd like for all she said to be true, but this talk lacks any scientific evidence, is poorly conceived and won't convince any but the hardcore-wishful thinkers.

Evidence accuracy of bomb, medical, search alert dogs affected by handlers. Although dogs untrained away from any handler will alert on fire or medical. A chocolate lab could find a dead body 2 miles down in water with one focus, alone found drugs in one of 500 var gas tanks. Psychic. Not the trainer. I pray to have the joy and depth of love of a dog. We are unconscious to their true spirit and needs.
