| [News] Doggie Perfumes Can Tame a Crazy Dog LONDON (Reuters) - The right doggie perfume may be all it takes to soothe a savage beast, scientists say. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh managed to quiet noisy pooches in an animal welfare shelter, and make them friendlier to strangers, by plugging in a machine that emitted special perfumes: Dog Appeasing Pheromones (DAP). Elaine Todd and Natalie Waran of the university's Royal School of Veterinary Studies studied 37 dogs over seven days. "These pheromones -- special chemical odors containing messages familiar to dogs -- had the effect of reducing the frequency and noise levels of barking among the animals," the university said in a statement. The dogs also became friendlier, showing more interest in unfamiliar visitors who knelt in front of their kennels, it said. "This study suggests that DAP is a useful palliative tool for reducing the severity and occurrence of some behavior associated with canine stress and fear," Todd said. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp.../od_nm/dogs_dc |

| Too bad they didn't invent this earlier. Omarosa sure could have used a dose during her air on the Apprentice. |

| Maybe Higgin gets a daily dose of mouthwash and his teeth and tongue gets brushed constantly! I don't really notice Yoda having bad breath, except after he eats. I'm not too big of a fan of the Cesar after-smell. |
