3rd wave of dog domestication.
Also, I don't know if very many follow Monkey the Malinois on Facebook, but his level of intelligence and tricks that he can do lead me to agree with the article.
Sorry, the trick article is on Facebook only. I couldn't find a link without FB. If I do, I will post the link here.
Posting a couple of links in case anyone is interested, about domestication and also Monkey's slingshot trick.
