How many times have you been sick, or, hurt, or depressed and your dog has just known? He’ll come up and snuggle with you right when you need it. Well, chances are, it’s not just a coincidence. Dogs are fairly perceptive, and can pick up on your feelings easily. It’s not because of some kind of hokey spiritual connection you think you share, either. It’s science! Check out this post by Katie Finlay at the I Love Dogs Site for what dogs can sense about their owners:
-Your mood
-When you’re not paying attention (and they know they can get away with something)
-Inequality- neglected dogs will stop offering positive behavior, and will ignore owners altogether.
-When you’re sick- dogs may even be able to smell cancer cells!
How amazing is that?
