I think Konrad Lorenz is the animal behaviorist who studied imprinting. He was a pioneer in animal behavior. Going by memory, but I think there is a famous picture of him being followed by ducklings because he imprinted himself to them as their mother. This is why I love Marc O’Hare – nearly each strip makes a connection with me.
Been there so many times as a rookie dog rescuer. Lesson learned: don’t try to landscape the dog yard. Wish I would’ve been reading Citizen Dog back then. I could have learned the lessons from Mel and Fergus and had a dose of laughter in the meantime.
