When the 30 dogs in the study heard sad human cries, they exhibited signs of stress or agitation like scratching, shaking, lifting a paw, licking their mouths, and whining. This behavior indicates a strong emotional connection between dogs and humans.
The dogs displayed emotional contagion, mimicking human emotions, which typically occurs within the same species for bonding and communication. Dogs stand out by exhibiting this trait with humans, showcasing a deep level of understanding and empathy.
