"A dog IQ test has been developed by scientists who said it could pave the way for breakthroughs in the understanding of the link between intelligence and health." (in humans as well as in pooches)

At first I thought this was another of those online quizzes on How Bright is Your Dog.

So now we all wait with baited breath for the next instalment! Seriously. Not taking the piss. It looks like interesting research.

I am not sure what can be done to use any information gained so as to help in the treatment of dementia (or anything else) as it could be considered divisive to, say, give some people extra preventive drugs "because they are stupid" but it is an interesting line of research.
