Dogs sense the emotional state of their owners through their sense of smell, which influences their behavior and reactions, a study has found.

Dogs can detect the emotional state of their owners through smell, reports Neuroscience News. A study of 18 dogs and their owners found that human stress can cause anxiety in their pets.

During the experiment, the dog owners were in different emotional states: some solved complex math problems, which caused stress, others listened to soothing music to relax. The odors of these people’s sweat have different effects on dogs’ reactions.

The dogs were trained to distinguish between two locations of the bowl: one with a treat and one empty. The scientists then added a new bowl in a new location. A dog quickly approaching a new bowl is considered an “optimistic” choice, while a slow one is considered a “pessimistic” choice.

The study found that when dogs smelled stressed owners, they were more likely to make “pessimistic” choices, meaning they were slower to approach a new bowl. This effect was not observed in dogs exposed to the odor of relaxed owners.

The results of the study prove that dogs can detect the emotional state of people through their sense of smell. The researchers also found that dogs exposed to the smell of stress were better able to distinguish between food and empty bowls.

It was previously reported that the world’s tallest dog named Kevin died in the United States.
