Study of brain activity shows no difference when dogs see back or front of a head

Dog owners might love their pet’s endearing puppy dog eyes and cute furry features, but it turns out the doggy brain is just as excited by the back of our heads as the front.

Tell that to this mutt... This Heinz 57 Variety will bark on seeing certain family members when she looks through the kitchen window when she's wants them to bring her in.

Scan my brain and tell me which part of it tells you this article is stupid? I have two dogs anyone with dogs can tell you that stimulus on video/TV is not the same for animals as it is for humans.

You don’t say ! Lol

My dog went crazy when he saw a smile on people’s face? He always had pee with joy when he saw my dad?

Cats and dogs don’t know their human until they can smell it.

We must baffle them as much as they baffle us but thank goodness we have them.

voices and smell, yes

I wonder if the testing on this was done on dogs in pounds? Many dogs in cages will crouch in the corner & avoid eye contact out of fear.

Many dogs eat their own shit, they’re not exactly high-functioning geniuses

Clearly the scientists did not compare the dog’s brains whilst looking at their owner’s faces. 🙄

It a real mystery then why most dogs make eye contact with a human stranger, and start wagging their tail if they see a smile. Alternative headline: study shows it's methods couldn't identify how dogs perceive faces.

Maybe dogs just don’t respond to pointless videos?

Anyone who has a dog will laugh at this headline.

🥺🥺🥺

we have 2 dogs, the eldest one will bring his toy and try to put it in your hand, i guess as a pup he was only around humans so this is his learned behaviour for play the young one always had the older dog around so he brings the toy to your face to play as his learned behaviour

to be fair, a lot of times neither do I

The dog can assume the human face link to pre recording it's dimensions from up to lateral of both sides and this, can occur only when he sniff your quantity and quality of your calcium index! 'Means, he doesn't necessarily in love with you but only, interested in your bones!

Why would they be? 🤔

Just did an experiment. One of our Springers was walking past me, I turned my head and made eye contact, she stopped and reciprocated plus a waggy tail. I then turned my head away and then discreetly turned back. She had also turned away! QED!

Is it just me that thinks that dog looks like Hitler? Especially when quickly scrolling past it

The question is: 'Who wires the dogs' brain? Secondly, when people fail to see and observe the obvious, should they call themselves 'scientists'?

They’re not computers.

Are you sure about this? 'Cause my dog sure knows where my nose is.

so why does my dog freak out everytime it sees me with facemask on ?

Beg to differ.

This is weird,human experience seem to show the contrary

If you think I'm not wearing my hijab properly, that's your problem - not mine'Many take the stance that if a woman decides to cover and publicly proclaim her faith then she should be prepared to accept any subsequent backlash. I couldn’t disagree more.' It is telling that people wearing a cross or a rosary ring don’t get the same criticism. I loved the way this article was concluded. it looked beyond the material and spoke from the heart.
