I had a super smart poodle mix growing up, and it was smart enough to easily open the latch on its cage from the inside with its tongue. It also knew how to rearrange chairs in order to climb onto the dinner table.

The ones that are too smart outsmart the owners, which some dog owners see as a bad thing.

It literally is a quote in the article though. Probably if NYT wanted to be biased they could've just have not put the word "terrorism" in the title at all?

It's not terrorism but sabotage, indeed.

The crown is just a rubber stamp, until it’s not, like in the Australian constitutional crisis

I think it's different because they started out as actual Nike shoes
