 Researching Dogs and Happiness
. From an article in Academic Search Complete:  According to researcher Corsin Muller of the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna.   Dogs bumping their noses against a touch screen showing just the tops or bottoms of human faces did well at picking out the happy or mad expressions.

 The Dogs, Butterbean and E.D. discovered that they could use computers for more than just picking out human faces.  After learning to read human faces, they learned to read books. With tricks they learned from The Lives of the Monster Dogs by Kirsten Bakis, a book they discovered through Novelist, they constructed costumes and came to visit the Central Library. The well behaved and happy pooches used the Catalog touch screens by bumping their noses against them. They used Learning Express Library to Learn Computer Basics and Word. Happy in their new found knowledge they looked up poems using " dogs " in  the database Twentieth Century English Poetry  using the  Keyword Index.  They were not happy with what they found. Dogs are under represented in Twentieth Century English Poetry. The only line they liked:" The liver-coloured dog halts and looks up  Through the one-way mirror of his pale eye" from the poem  Aside by Fergus Allan.

 The two dapper and happy dogs were thrilled to learn that  a certain word  is listed in the 

"Keyword in Poem List."

The dogs giggled to themselves and trotted home from Central Library.
