I see "lying" behavior in my dogs every day:

Dog "A" has toy #1.
Dog "B" wants toy #1, so he feigns great interest in toy #2,
effectively "lying" to dog "A".
Dog "A" can't stand it, and drops toy #1 to run over and try to take
toy 2 from dog "B".
Dog "B" then nonchalantly walks over and picks up toy #1, and runs
like hell. ;-)

For those who know or care, dog "A" == Cooper, and dog "B" == Travis.
Dog "A" sees hamburger on table.

Dog "B" see hamburger on table.

Mickey (Person #1) sees hamburger on table.

Person #1 does Brooks Robinson style dive to get to hamburger ahead of Dog "A" and Dog "B". ;-)
