Also how they are able to guide the visually impaired, whether police officers trust them with their lives, how they are able to learn circus tricks, or whether city dogs are smarter than country dogs. Editor-reporter Krisztina Veress gave the title of her film about unconditional love (also) to Professor Vilmos Csányi: Why is the dog our best friend?
