Dogs That Can Sense Your Emotions
Dogs That Can Sense Your Emotions!
The scientists managed the experiment by using dogs to see if they’re happy or sad. They used a touch motion machine and they would show the dogs a part of a woman's face. The scientists showed either upper halves or lower halves because the scientist that published the Current Biology journal, said that humans express their feeling/emotions in their entire face.
Dogs have a harder time to distinguish angry expressions because they think it’ll do harm to them so they retreat immediately but when they realise they’re being rewarded their fear goes away. Dogs that have male owners have a harder time figuring out emotions. The scientists said this is a matter of the gender of their own owner so it’ll be easier for them to read emotions of the gender of their owner.
The scientists are planning to manage a similar test/experiment on different animals like cats, pigs and hand raised wolves.
