Dogs can tell who is good and who is bad person
Are Dogs Naturally Instinctive?
According to scientists, the answer appears to be yes. Behavioral studies suggest that our beloved canine companions can sense when someone has bad intentions. A deeper dive into the extraordinary sensory abilities of dogs reveals just how perceptive they truly are.
Dogs and Trustworthiness
Dogs may be even more intuitive than we realize. Research suggests that they can assess a person’s reliability. Japanese scientist Akiko Takaoka from Kyoto University conducted a formal experiment consisting of three phases to determine whether dogs could recognize deception.
In the first step, a dog’s owner pointed to a container holding food. The dog followed the signal and found the treat. Next, the owner pointed to an empty container. The dog, expecting food, approached but found nothing.
This demonstrated that dogs rely on human gestures to locate objects. However, when these gestures proved unreliable, the dogs showed signs of confusion and unease.
By the third trial, the dogs no longer obeyed the misleading instructions. This suggested that they had lost trust in the deceptive human. The experiment, involving 34 dogs, concluded that canines evaluate a person’s credibility based on past interactions.
Researchers plan to extend this study to wolves, a close relative of dogs, to explore whether this ability is unique to domesticated animals.
