If you want to know if your pet loves you, try pretending to cry!

Here’s a simple test that may reveal the true bond between you and your four-legged friend. For many pet owners, one question may be on their minds for a long time: “Do our pets really love us?” “Or are their behaviors just habitual?” The answer may lie in a simple test that researchers have discovered: faking crying in front of your dog. 

Research showing that dogs respond with empathy when their owners fake cry, by Professor Kim Bard, an expert in comparative developmental psychology from the University of Portsmouth, stated that when studying the behavior of dogs when their owners fake cry, they found that the dogs responded with empathy towards their own owners, but did not show the same reaction towards strangers. This result suggests that some dogs have the เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย ability to recognize human emotions and respond in a way similar to love. 

“The fact that dogs only show empathy with their owners shows that this relationship is special,” he said. However, not all dogs display this behavior; some are more subtle, and interpreting a pet’s feelings remains a complex matter. 

But do cats understand our feelings? For cat owners, some studies suggest that cats may also have the capacity for empathy, but their displays of emotional intelligence are often less obvious than those of dogs. Most cat owners are aware that cats’ reactions to human emotions can be more varied and unpredictable.
