In the popular literature, it is often assumed that a single conceptual framework can be applied to both dog–dog and dog–human interactions, including play. We have, through three studies, tested the hypothesis that dog–dog and dog–human play are motivationally distinct. In an Ž . observational study of dogs being walked by their owners Ns402 , dogs which were walked together, and had opportuni...
