To say that we are flattered to be included in National Geographic’s Featured article on animal emotions and empathy is an understatement. The article briefly refers to a video from April 2021, where Bastian is visibly upset by Hallie’s difficulty walking, not even 24 hours before her passing. To have this intimate moment immortalized as a testament of the capacity of empathy in animals is such a beautiful honor, and tribute to the shared bond of Hallie and Bastian 🥹 #tbt #throwbackthursday #talkingdog #dogscience #natgeo #nationalgeographic #canineaic #caninepsychology #dogpsychology #hunger4words #caninescience #caninecognition #fluentpet
