The Hell they don't remember. Anyone with a dog that's ever found something in one spot can tell you that they will look in that spot again and again for it.
The overjoyed part is simple pack behavior. It comes from knowing that another member of the pack has gone somewhere else and may be bringing back good food, scents, etc., and the rest of the pack is interested and excited by the potential new discoveries.

Mistreat a dog and see if they don't remember.

Interesting read.
Have any long motorcycle trips planned with your old KLR650 in the near future?

If you substitute liberal for dog you would be correct.

I don't buy it. My old Brittany would get somewhat excited if I asked if she wanted to go for a walk. If I asked if she wanted to go hunting she'd be bouncing off the ceiling. If we drove to my friend's house who owned her brother, it be the same thing, just about going nuts in the cab of the pickup. So no, I don't buy that they don't remember.

My folks Dachshund believes the Boogie Man or something similar resides inside of the closet that holds the HVAC unit. About 4 times a day, she goes and sits in front of the closet wanting somebody to open the door. She's convinced something is in there making noise when the heater or A/C kicks on, but she never can find it when we open the door..then she goes and lays on her pillow, until she forgets, hears noise and thinks there's a Boogie Man in the HVAC closet...
This has been going on for 10 years....

My dog worries I don't like her if I yell at her about something. Just the other day she got in trouble around 1:00 and when we went to bed, she suddenly jumps onto the bed, lays right next to me and looks at me as if to say "I'm so sorry. Can you forgive me?" My hunting dog on the other hand can barely remember his name.

When we return to Wyoming after 6 months in Arizona, as soon as we turn onto our street the dogs know exactly where we are and just go nuts with joy.
Our one little dog has a thing for cattleguards, he knows where all of them are that we go over once in a while, some only 2-3 times a year. Maybe 200 yards or so from the cattleguard he gets really excited and starts barking, he knows where we are and that the cattleguard is coming up.
These are just two example of why I think the report is sadly mistaken.

Answer this one.
Toby the English Cocker doesn't care all that much about other Dogs. She- correction he-tolerates them, but isn't all that interested in playing or fooling around with them.
Then one day at a gun club a guy pulls in with a Jeep and out jumps another hunting Cocker who looked to be Toby's twin. They did the smell thing and the guy and I started talking. Turns out they were brothers from a different breeding of the same sire and dam. The two were instantly inseparable. Running to exhaustion together in the field on a cool evening and finally laying in the grass side by side. One moved the other moved.
It was kinda spooky.
Addition: Toby often gets called she in error. Abby the Springer, now hunting in other fields is always there.

That was an interesting read. I have seen different reaction from my dog after I've been gone longer than normal on several occasions. But he is smart even by Labrador standards and been highly trained all his life (field trials). Does that make a difference, dunno? Breed specific maybe? What may be true for a pug may not be true for a border collie, again I dunno.

Hell,...... I don't remember what happened yesterday!
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Try getting a dog into a travel crate the day after you have him fixed at the vet.

Prob'ly goes a long way towards explaining why we're best friends Why we're best friends? Lock your wife and your dog in the car trunk and let them out after an hour. Which one is happy to see you?
