Can your dog learn to use public transportation?

Apparently, stray dogs in Moscow have taught themselves how to use the public transportation system.

Biologist Andrew Poyarkov, who has studied dogs and other animals says that it is true. It is reported that stray dogs are using the subway system to ride into central Mosow every morning where it is easier to find srcaps of food.

In the evenings these dogs take the subway back out to the outskirts of the city where they find better places to sleep. "They seem to have learned how long they need to stay on the train to leave at the right station," says, Poyarkov (as reported in the Week - It Must be true...I read it in the tabloids).
