“…Unlike rhesus macaques, dogs can match actions in a "Do-as-I-do" training paradigm (Fugazza et al, 2019;Fugazza & Miklósi, 2014;Topál et al, 2006), they spontaneously match human actions already as puppies (Fugazza et al, 2023), and even over-imitate action sequences demonstrated by their human caregivers (Huber et al, 2018(Huber et al, , 2020. Furthermore, dogs also share more complex socio-cognitive abilities with humans: they can perform visual perspective taking (Catala et al, 2017;Maginnity & Grace, 2014; and see Huber & Lonardo, 2023 for review), respond to unfair treatment (i.e., inequity aversion; Brucks et al, 2016;Essler et al, 2017;Range et al, 2009;McGetrick & Range, 2018 for review), form expectations about physical events (Völter, Tomašić, et al, 2023;Völter & Huber, 2021a, 2021b and are sensitive to humans' intentions, knowledge or beliefs (Lonardo et al, 2021;Schünemann et al, 2021;Virányi et al, 2006;Völter, Lonardo, et al, 2023). Finally, dogs and humans also display relevant differences in their abilities and behaviours, apart from unique human abilities such as language.…”
