Depressed dogs, cats with OCD — what animal madness means for us humans

Laurel Braitman's speech about animal madness

dashing - attractive and confident
I am always jealous of her dashing good looks.
The girls in the classrom were staring at the dashing young boy sitting in the corner.

canine - connected with dogs
What I enjoyed the most during our trip was our canine companion, Burek.
The new canine member in our family was a little Pekinese from the animal shelter.

pluck something out - to pull out hairs using your fingers or claws
My sister made me so angry that I wanted to pluck out her hair.
This chicken is crazy! It's plucking out her feathers! 

debilitate - to make somebody weaker
The disease debilitated her, you can see she's lost all of her energy.
I hate summer as the hot temperatue always debilitates me.

antropomorphic - treating animals as if they had human qualities

The veterinarian said we have to treat our dog in an antropomorphic way if we want to understand how it really feels.
Scientists say that the explanation of animals' behaviour is possible only by using antropomorphic terms.
