Ever heard about the saying that dogs can feel the fear? They really can, and that’s not all! Many recent studies confirmed that dogs can feel bad people when they are around.
Maybe you noticed that sometimes our furry ones’ behavior changes around specific individuals. They are so smart that have the ability to discern a good person from a bad person! That sounds a bit hard to swallow, but it was proven!
A recent study made by Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, dogs can make the difference between the good and the bad persons. An experiment was made involving pet owners and their companions.
The owners were given a container that wasn’t easy to open, asking some researchers for “assistance”. The researchers had to respond in three different ways: help them, staying there passively, or just refuse to give them a hand.
In the end, the researchers came with traits at the dogs. Amazingly, in many cases, the dogs were accepting treats from the helpful or passive ones, ignoring those who responded in a negative way to their owners. The dogs sensed that the ones that didn’t offer their help were unkind.
Who can say that dogs are not smart after this amazing find? If something similar happened to you and your companion, let us know!
