Can you tell what your dog is feeling? A study from Arizona State University found that pup owners frequently misinterpret how their pet feels. Human beings are more likely to think their pet is happy due to something else going on around them…for example, if a dog is wagging their tail while happy music is playing, we may assume the dog enjoys the music. “People do not look at what the dog is doing, instead they look at the situation surrounding the dog and base their emotional perception off of that,” researcher Holly G. Molinaro said. Molinaro suggests learning more about your dog’s body language and behavioral cues instead of using the environment for context. “Every dog’s personality, and thus her emotional expressions, are unique to that dog,” she explained.
