I'm not sure if the inadvertant property invalidates genius, maybe "a stroke of luck" would be a better phrase, but probably not as good a click-winner. Whether dogs have this feature innately or not is something I don't know, but Sudo has finally perfected "Boltface". If you've seen the movie "Bolt" where Penny teaches Bolt how to look cute and sad to get food, it appears to have rubbed off on Sudo, too. We are delighted.
Look at the state of that kitchen floor! Do you guys have a dog or something?!
