Summary: Working dogs play vital roles in our society, and there is a growing focus on scientific exploration and understanding of animal welfare. This report examines studies on working dogs from the past decade, with a focus on modern ethics and the five domains of animal welfare, aiming to identify ways to enhance the welfare of working dogs.

Summary: Investigations of therapy dog welfare have primarily focused on physiological and behavioral measures, but have not fully considered the continuum of welfare. This review proposes using objective measurements of the HPA axis and behavioral observations to evaluate positive welfare in therapy dogs. The role of oxytocin and questionnaire data are also discussed. However, to date, no studies have comprehensively measured these factors to assess therapy dog welfare.

Summary: The study examines the sense of presence experienced by scientific team members on the Martian landscape during the Mars Exploration Rover mission. It suggests that the sense of presence involves core-presence and extended-presence, with team members becoming the rover to enhance their ability to identify relevant affordances. The collective presence of the team through the rover is emphasized due to Mars exploration being a collective activity involving shared agency by a distributed cognitive system.

Summary: This study examines the begging strategies used by Andean dogs and humans on a road in Bolivia. Dogs were observed lying down alone at the edge of the road, particularly on hairpin bends where vehicles had to slow down. Humans were observed in groups. Dogs were more successful in receiving food, as indicated by their higher scores compared to humans.

Summary: The study compared the behavior of dogs and cats in a two-choice task after observing a person taking and pretending to eat food from a baited container. Both dogs and cats showed a tendency to avoid the container associated with human actions when making their choice.

Summary: Dogs act as companions and can positively impact healthy aging for both older adults and dogs. Understanding the importance of healthspan and the relationship between humans and dogs in older age is crucial for promoting healthy, active aging. Future research should continue to explore the role of dogs in the lives of older adults.

Summary: This paper addresses the confusion that may arise from the terminology used to describe animals working in roles supporting people, presents working definitions for nine terms, and recommends phasing out two terms to avoid overlap and potential confusion.

Summary: Psychiatric service dogs can play a positive role in cultivating resilience within military families, as they facilitate relational and family adaptation. This study suggests the incorporation of educational interventions, including relational maintenance strategies and family-focused approaches, to integrate service dogs as military family members.

Summary: The study found that short-term outings for shelter dogs did not provide the same stress reduction benefits as temporary fostering. However, these outings may increase adoption visibility and foster recruitment.

Summary: This study found that dogs exhibit different displacement behaviors and facial expressions in threatening and neutral situations. However, contrary to the hypotheses, displacement behaviors were expressed more in the neutral condition rather than the threatening condition. This suggests that displacement behaviors may be used not only to appease aggressive interactions but also in potentially ambiguous contexts where the behavior of the social partner is difficult to predict.

Summary: Recent research on domestic dogs has explored their social cognition, but less is known about their perceptual experience and understanding of their own size. Two studies found that dogs can judge whether they can fit through an opening based on their body size, showing hesitation at smaller openings. Dogs also adjust their behavior when holding a stick in their mouth to navigate through an opening. These findings suggest that dogs possess an understanding of their body size and adapt their behavior accordingly in a changing environment.

Summary: The study empirically supported the notion that person-plus-tool interactions can be classified as extended cognitive systems, by quantifying the system-level properties of these interactions. The results provided a theoretical framework for understanding the dynamics of person-plus-tool systems and their implications for future research on extended cognition.

Summary: Self-regulated learning is essential for learning, but learners often struggle with accurately using cognitive and metacognitive self-regulated learning strategies, leading to poor learning outcomes. Intelligent tutoring systems aim to address this issue by prompting and scaffolding learners to engage in self-regulated learning. This study collected data from 117 undergraduate students using MetaTutor, an intelligent tutoring system, and found that learners who received prompts from pedagogical agents had better learning outcomes and higher frequencies of strategy use.

Summary: This study examines methods to reduce interdependent privacy violations on social media and tests the effectiveness of concept-based, fact-based, and narrative-based educational videos in altering relevant attitudes and behaviors. The results show that concept and fact videos can reduce sharing of negative content, while narrative interventions can have opposite effects in certain situations.

Summary: The limitations of commonly used statistical tools contribute to the replication crisis in social and cognitive science. Inferential statistics presume milder forms of variability that are inconsistent with the dynamic nature of social, cognitive, and behavioral systems emphasized in contemporary systems research.
