Dog Loves Drainage Pipes
“Nanikore” introduces us to Moko, a Welsh corgi in Tokyo that is obsessed with drainage pipes:
About a year ago, Moko started doing something very odd. Whenever she notices a drainage pipe, Moko wants to check it. Because there are a lot of concrete walls and embankments along her walking route, Moko checks dozens of pipes every day.
An expert believes Moko may have started checking pipes after discovering something interesting or tasty inside one. Even though the chances of making another pleasant discovery are low, Moko checks every pipe.
Humans also exhibit this kind of behavior. The show gives the example of people who check the change slot of vending machines, hoping that they’ll get lucky and find some coins that a somebody else left behind.
