The special ability of dogs - fleetingly knows who is bad, good person

Japanese researchers have discovered the new ability of dogs - identify who is bad just by watching.

Dogs or cats are smarter - this question makes many people argue but still hasn't got a convincing answer.

But there is a fact that my dog ​​or my pet cat is also smart.

And this Kyoto University research will prove once again the amazing ability of dogs. That is, they can analyze a person's level of trust and tell us who should believe.

Dogs can identify good and bad people based on observation.

Specifically, researcher Akiko Takaoka of Kyoto University (Japan) and his colleagues conducted an experiment to know if a puppy believes a person lied to it.

Accordingly, the researchers divided the experiment into 3 parts. In the first test, the dog's owner would point to a container of food, and tell the dog to run there. A container that does not contain food will be pointed immediately afterwards. The dog had been tricked into approaching a non-food container.

Many previous studies have shown that a dog is capable of understanding human gestures, so they follow what the master says to him. If the gesture is inconsistent, then the dog may become nervous.

In the third experiment, but the dog will no longer follow his only hand because he does not believe and let the other person be a liar.

34 dogs in the study gave similar results. They will use previous experience to judge if a person is trustworthy.

Takaoka is planning to work with wolves because they are also close to dogs.

Research has shown that dogs also know how to control how other people interact with their owners.

In one experiment, the dog owner asked everyone to help them eat and the dog's reaction surprised the scientific community.

Dogs can read our gestures and facial expressions.

Dogs will not receive help from rude people with their owners. They will eat the food given and be friendly with the help of the owner. That shows, someone aggressive, rude to the owner certainly cannot get the dog's trust.

A previous study published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioural Review showed that dogs can read our gestures and facial expressions.

With this research, we can now know more about puppies, about their intelligence - beyond our thoughts.

If you cheat the dog, he will not trust or listen to you. And if the dog does not like your friends, he may have noticed something unusual in this friend.

The study was published in the journal Animal Cognition Journal.
