A six-year-old Welsh-Corgie mix was given an honorary degree from Hope College in Michigan for...what else? His ability to do calculus. Dr. Timothy Pennings , a math professor, swears that Elvis the dog can solve calculus problems. It makes sense when you give it some thought -- considering that a standard calculus problem is to find the quickest path from one point to another -- as Elvis does when he plays fetch. "When I did all the math calculations to figure out exactly where should he jump into the water in order to get there in the shortest time, it turns out he jumps into the water within about a foot of the optimal point each time," Pennings explained. Pennings' findings show that when he mathematically calculated the optimal path of Elvis' route, he arrived at an estimation that was very close to Elvis' own burification point. This indicates that Elvis may in fact have the ability to problem solve.
