Dogs ‘just get’ humans in ways other animals can’t, evolutionary scientists conclude. (Similar ground was covered in NOVA's Dogs Decoded on PBS over a decade ago - still a fascinating watch.)

Also: Boredom’s link to mental illnesses, brain injuries and dysfunctional behaviors: "Boredom is a distressing emotional state that combines feelings of restlessness and lethargy, arising from situations that are no longer satisfying or stimulating. Early research often dismissed boredom as temporary and inconsequential, but recent work has established its links to mental illness, traumatic brain injury and dysfunctional behaviors such as reckless driving and substance abuse." (Boredom is also, of course, not a burden anyone should bear.)

Finally, unsurprisingly, demons have bangin' taste in music.
