Werewolves of Moscow

Werewolves of Moscow:

From the Financial Times (h/t Arts & Letters Daily).

Every so often, you would see [a stray dog] waiting on a metro platform. When the train pulled up, the dog would step in, scramble up to lie on a seat or sit on the floor if the carriage was crowded, and then exit a few stops later. There is even a website dedicated to the metro stray (www.metrodog.ru) on which passengers post photos and video clips taken with their mobile phones, documenting the ­savviest of the pack using the public transport system like any other Muscovite.
How did they learn to do that? One alone, perhaps an exceptional brain among dogs -- but many?
