We get sick, they get sick…and sicky is very icky!

So what are some common diseases that people share with other animals???

Many of us have some problem areas when it comes to our dogs' training — but this woman has got it bad.

TeddyHilton.com reader, Petra, wrote to Dr. Patrick Mahaney and said:

My dog is probably the worst ever!!!!!!! She never goes on any walks. If she HAS to come I have to pull her out the front door. When my son forgets to clean the table she pushes the chair out and eats every last bit of food. She also bites my hand off if i have treats in it by jumping up and grabbing my hand. The last problem is she barks at everything! The worst part is 85 precent of the time she barks at NOTHING!! Please tell me what to do with my dog, Leila.

P.S. Help soon she is influencing my dog Loki who is beginning to pick up her bad habits.

Best Wishes,
Petra

Good thing we have Dr. Patrick to respond:

A recent study has figured out that animals actually do like music!

But not the kind you'd think.

Honey bees are not the mindless drones we think of when we think of bees.

The University of Illinois conducted a personality study on bees and found they can be everything from very outgoing to lazy!

They studied their brains and their "thrill seeking" and found that

Two marine biologists studying dolphins have found that when a new group of dolphins meets another they have a signature whistle they use as a greeting.

Sort of like a: "Hello, I am Delphino, of the clan Swimsalot."

And then the other group responds with their whistle like: "What's up, yo."

LOLz!

It's just one dolphin that does the whistle, like their leader.

The whistle was only used if they were specially interacting with another group of dolphins, not just near by others.

So this really is a "hello!"

So cool.

A Cetacean biologist who read the study said this could open up all sorts of possibilities.

She said:

"We know dolphins learn to copy each other's signature whistles. What if they use a signature whistle to refer to a 'third party' or a dolphin that isn't there?"

Dolphins can talk smack on each other!

They're just like humans!

LOLz!

Shark fin soup is a cruel dish made by catching sharks, cutting their fins off, then tossing them back into the sea.

So not only is this meal crazy cruel, it's also potentially really dangerous.

We're surprised the secret service let Obama get so close to shark fin soup.

Remember when we previously mentioned he got take out from a San Fran restaurant that still served shark fin soup?

Anyway, scientists analyzed shark fins from Florida and found
