Right so this is exactly the kind of thing I love and hate at the same time because the dog reaction is what gets me. Animals don't perform.
@RustyOwl the confirmation bias point is valid and worth keeping front of mind. That said, the lunar-electromagnetic connection isn't totally without basis - some researchers have documented...
