Given reports that ‘guilty look’ behaviours are shown also in the absence of being scolded, we investigated whether the dogs’ own actions or the evidence of a misdeed might serve as triggering cues. We manipulated whether or not dogs ate a ‘forbidden’ food item and whether or not the food was visible upon the owners’ return. Based on their dogs’ greeting
behaviour, owners stated that their dog had eaten the food no more than expected by chance. In addition, dogs’ greeting behaviours were not affected by their own action or the
presence or absence of the food. Thus, our findings do not support the hypothesis that dogs show the ‘guilty look’ in the absence of a
concurrent negative reaction by their owners.

chronic, recurrent diseases which exert major effects on
patients’ well being and quality of life (QoL). Although the
treatment must been focused on healing of symptoms and
prevention of complications, improvement and preservation of
general and disease specific QoL is also important. The disease
specific QoL worsens with more severe disease. We aimed to
compare components of general and specific health-related QoL
in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in remission and
in active phase of disease.
Materials and Methods: Between October 2008 and April 2009
in the setting of the University Gastroenterology Clinic, we
consecutively included 60 patients with already established
diagnosis of UC (N = 32) or CD (N = 28), age range 19 to 74
(M=41.57; SD=15.63). Group A consist of 41 patients (68%) with
active disease (CDAI above 150 and CAI UC above 4) and group B
consist of 19 patients (32%) who were in remission. All patients
fulfilled SF-36 and IBDQ questionnaires.
Results: As expected, mental component of general helathrealted
quality of life is better (t58=2.29, p = 0.025) in
group B comparing to group A (MB=63.06 vs. MA=48.66) but
unexpectedly we found no difference in physical component
of general health-related QoL (t57=1.61, p = 0.11). In diseasespecific
QoL we found more pronounced systemic symptoms in
group A (t57=2.36, p = 0.02). Also patients in group A have more
disturbed social components and higher depression but these
results were not statistically significant (p < 0.10).
Conclusions: Inspite of remission, patients still have low
physical component of QoL, like patients in exacerbation,
which could have impact on their normal functioning.
