New research shows that dogs have a special ability when they know how to make people understand their snarls, wiggles, and meanings.

The study was carried out with the help of 40 volunteers who were told to hear various growls of 18 dogs while they were guarding the food and facing a mean stranger. threatening, or when they play tug-of-war .

The researchers said the participants correctly classified 63% of these language samples, significantly more than the team's prediction.

The listeners identified 81% of the growls when they "played" but seemed to not recognize the growl when they protected the food and intended to threaten. Scientists also find that women are more sensitive than men in recognizing a dog that is happy or intimidated or intimidated.

Dr. Tamas Farago and his team from Eotvos Lorand University in Hungary wrote a report in the Royal Society Open Science magazine that: "Women and experienced participants with dogs score higher on missions. this'.

During the game, the dogs let out more growls, less separation from each other when they were aggressive or frightened. The growls when playing and growling when guarding food also have distinctly different characteristics.

In parallel with the determination of the snarling context, the volunteers also had to evaluate the growl in 5 emotional states: aggression, fear, frustration, happiness and joy. Scientists say the context has a significant impact on reading the emotions of dogs.

The team concludes that dogs show more behavior in serious, confrontational situations such as protecting food from another dog. And they show a less obvious state in uncertain situations like facing strangers.

In particular, adults understand and can respond to this audio information during interactions between species with dogs. In other words, dogs can convey exactly what they want us to know when 'communicating'.
