What Goes On In A Dog's Mind

SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL, HUMANS AND DOGS HAVE BEEN TOGETHER AND HAVE BECOME MAN’S BEST FRIEND AND A BELOVED PET. DOGS ARE THE ONLY BREED OF ANIMALS WHICH PLAYS WITH US, CUDDLES WITH US, LISTENS TO US AND VERY IMPORTANTLY LOVES US UNCONDITIONALLY.

These furry friends understand our mannerisms, our habits and also the instructions that we humans give out to them. It’s strange that without talking or understanding our language, how do dogs communicate or even comprehend what we tell them to do. We as owners, just wonder what kind of thoughts go on in our beloved pets’ mind. The more we can know and understand them as owners, the better for their emotional wellbeing.

Most pet owners not only think that their dogs lead multifaceted emotional lives but also know what their owners are thinking. With the advancement of Science, few studies support this notion that dogs distinguish between human faces that are conveying different emotions. Moreover, there are proofs that suggest that language is not an ability owned by only humans.

The amount of understanding that dogs have of basic language abilities offers further insight into the minds of our furry friends. Dogs have a mental aptitude approximately equal to a human toddler aged two to two and a half. This means that there’s a lot going on in the dog’s mind.

Dogs think about their owners

Well yes, dogs do think about their humans. Scientists have done a lot of study where they let the dogs smell the scent of their owners which in turn activates the ‘reward center’ in the dog’s brain. The scent of their owners makes them dizzy. The dogs also think a lot about how their owners are feeling. As a matter of fact, the brains of the dogs are in sync with the nuances of emotions in their owner’s voice which explains why they are so good in comforting us.
