For more than 10,000 years, dogs have faithfully shared man’s life and home. Yet, there are some juicy tidbits about dogs that many pet owners are not still unaware of yet. Here are some of them:
l Dogs are just like humans in a lot of aspects. They possess individual personalities, and have an extremely high level of social intelligence. They can learn via various avenues such as observing the behavior of other canines, reinforcement, as well as from observing humans. They also go through a series of cognitive development stages, just like we do.
l Dogs are capable of displaying a wide range of emotions including depression, jealousy, and optimism. Canine behavioral studies have also demonstrated dogs being able to show empathy for others.
l Yawns can also be contagious from humans to dogs. This is often a common display associated with empathy.
