Dogs have 'episodic memories' just like humans, suggests study

Researchers find that dogs, like humans, appear to have memories linked to specific times and places

Dogs can remember what their owners have been up to, say researchers probing the nature of canine memory.

A team from Hungary have discovered that dogs are able to recall their owner's actions, even when they were not specifically instructed to do so, suggesting that dogs, like humans, have what is known as "episodic memory" - memories linked to specific times and places.
