Dr. Valdas Noreika explained, "Owners modulate their language in a similar way as parents modulate when they speak to children. There are lots of similarities... that could be one of the reasons we get so attached to dogs." He suggests these parallels in communication styles contribute to the deep emotional bonds between humans and their pets, further indicating cognitive synchrony that enhances this attachment.
Dr. Eleanor Raffan cautioned against overinterpreting the findings by stating, "I think what would be lovely would be to prove that there is that connection," emphasizing the need for careful interpretation of dog-human interactions to avoid anthropomorphizing.
