    Everybody has always known that dogs are trainable. Pavlov’s contribution was figuring out how to cut a hole in dog stomach and keep it alive.

    This then he used in studying gastric juices, in relationship with stimuli.

    Have a doggy day!

      I have seen cows with holes like that in their rumen in real life. They have a little access point on the outside where you can just put your arm into their rumen from the outside and take a sample. It’s both insane and also kind of cool. It’s called a port hole. Used in feed science. And apparently the cow doesn’t care.

        I’ve put my hand in one of those before! It was at the like fair or a tour of a dairy place we went on for school or something but they had one of those with an integrated glove that you could reach in and feel the digesting grass n shit

        I mostly just remember it being warm and weirdly mushy, I was fairly young at the time

        This is very different from the last time I had my fist that deep in a digestive tract.

      Holy shallow interpretation, Batman!

      To reduce Pavlov’s conclusions to “dogs = trainable” is the equivalent of saying that Newton’s laws of motion boil down to “things move sometimes” 🤦🏻
