More wieners in science

Today it rained, so we spent a lot of time on the Net. We learned that, yet again, wieners are helping humans in the science research. They keep coming to us for help, and we're a little worried that we'll be seen as lab rats. Not good.
Anyway, in a weird Norwegian study done somewhere in New York, they figured out that if they put sunglasses on a wiener dog, they'll be able to learn about human blindness. OK, fine.
But we're not wearing sunglasses except on the beach. And that's that.

Science appreciates us, too

Wow. In today's Science Daily, we found an article about a stubborn gene that may help stop invasive breast cancer. The gene's name: Dachshund or DACH1. We think that's terrific, and it's named appropriately. First of all, we are stubborn, and stopping breast cancer requires this gene to be on patrol. It also has the ability to herd other genes gone wild and make them behave normally. Obviously, science take our breed seriously, too. Maybe being aggressive about some things isn't so bad after all.
