Akosman","doi":"10.1111/jsap.70107","DOIUrl":"10.1111/jsap.70107","url":null,"abstract":"<p>I am writing to draw attention to a widespread misconception currently proliferating on social media platforms, where pet owners are utilising the so-called ‘wall test’ to gauge their dogs' intelligence. This ‘challenge’ involves carrying a dog toward a vertical surface; if the animal extends its thoracic limbs to make contact, it is heralded as ‘intelligent’. As veterinary professionals, it is our duty to clarify that this manoeuvre is not a measure of canine cognition but is, in fact, a fundamental neurological assessment known as the <i>visual and tactile placing test</i> (de Lahunta et al., <span>2020</span>; Lorenz et al., <span>2010</span>).</p><p>The visual placing reaction is a complex postural response that requires the functional integrity of specific neuroanatomical pathways. The process begins with retinal reception, travelling through the optic nerves, optic tracts and the lateral geniculate nucleus, eventually projecting to the visual cortex. The motor component involves the frontal cortex and the activation of upper motor neuron pathways to initiate limb protraction (de Lahunta et al., <span>2020</span>; Lorenz et al., <span>2010</span>).</p><p>The clinical significance of this test is to localise lesions and confirm neurological health, not to measure IQ. A deficit in this reaction is a red flag for <i>cortical blindness, brainstem lesions or conscious proprioception loss</i>. Mistaking this for ‘low intelligence’ is clinically dangerous, as it may lead owners to overlook early signs of serious neurological decay.</p><p>Intelligence in Canidae involves complex cognitive processes such as problem-solving, memory and social adaptation, managed by the prefrontal cortex. In contrast, the placing reaction is a semi-automatic sensory-motor integration. Confusing a diagnostic reflex with cognitive ability is akin to mistaking a computer's ‘power-on self-test’ for its total computational power.</p><p>We must encourage pet owners to seek professional veterinary consultation when they observe ‘failed’ reactions, rather than dismissing them as a lack of intelligence.

There was no history of trauma. Clinical examination revealed bilateral exophthalmos and a painful, crepitant, frontotemporal mass. Neurological examination showed mild obtundation and reduced menace response, indicating forebrain involvement. Bloodwork was unremarkable. MRI (Ingenia 3.0T, Philips AG, Zurich, Switzerland) revealed an extensive, polyostotic calvarial lesion with permeative osteolysis and osteoproliferation. The lesion caused severe, bilateral destructive sinorhinopathy, retrobulbar extension with exophthalmos, multifocal masticatory muscle infiltration and dural/meningeal enhancement. On T2-weighted fat-suppressed (T2wSPIR) sequences, it was predominantly hyperintense relative to the masticatory musculature, with multifocal T2-weighted hyperintense areas (Fig 1A). The lesion also displayed a thick, irregular, enhancing rim and multifocal to confluent regions of marked contrast enhancement on T1-weighted sequences after gadolinium-based contrast medium injection (post-contrast T1w, Fig 1B). Differential diagnoses included neoplasia (<i>e.g</i>. carcinoma, multilobular osteochondrosarcoma or soft tissue sarcoma), while inflammatory/infectious aetiologies (<i>e.g</i>. fungal osteomyelitis) were considered less likely. <i>Post mortem</i> examination revealed cranial deformities, exophthalmos and neoplastic infiltration of skull bones, meninges and temporal region, obstructing the caudal nasal cavity (Fig 1C). Histopathology confirmed a highly cellular, infiltrative squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with high mitotic activity and vascular emboli (Fig 1D). SCC is a malignant epithelial tumour, and diffuse calvarial infiltration with extensive osteolysis and concurrent osteoproliferation, as in this case, is uncommon. This report highlights that SCC should be considered among differentials for polyostotic, osteolytic and osteoproliferative calvarial lesions with similar MRI features in dogs.</p><p><b>P.
