Dogs continue to surprise us after each study, proving more and more that they are in complete harmony with us, our feelings and moods. Recently, experts have concluded that our four-legged friends can tell when we are stressed through our breath and sweat.
4 dogs—voluntarily by their owners—were trained to "pick" one of three boxes with different scents, and in more than 650 of the 700 test tubes, they successfully identified a sweat or breath sample that had been taken. from a stressed person.
Researchers at Queen's University Belfast hope their study, published in the journal Plos One, will help further train dogs.
In fact, dogs experience their entire world through scent. Their super-developed ability to smell has historically been used to identify drugs, explosives and various diseases including Covid-19.
What scientists didn't know until now is that dogs can "smell" our psychological state.
