Dogs: a Wonderful Species

Man’s best friend

Dogs are truly man’s best friend. They’ve evolved side by side with us through history as partners and helpers. If you’re a dog owner, you probably know already that your dog can read your emotion from your face. Science confirms this. In fact, in a recent scientific study, dogs were shown images of human faces with either an angry or happy expression and proved that they were able to distinguish between the two.

In the study, dogs were slower to associate an angry face with a reward. This demonstrates how they’ve learned over the years to expect good things from cheerful humans.

A Dog helping other dogs

An Australian shepard out for a walk with its owner recently sniffed out a plastic bag full of puppies abandoned in a park in the East Bay of the San Francisco area. This good dog sensed something was wrong, and the puppies are now being cared for properly by Contra Costa Animal Services. If it weren’t for the shepard, these innocent puppies would likely be dead.

A home away from home for your dog
