Dogs are highly sensitive to human emotions. They can detect sadness through changes in your facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, and even the scent of stress hormones like cortisol.
When you’re feeling down, many dogs respond by staying close, nuzzling you, or acting more attentive. This empathetic behaviour is part of why dogs are such wonderful emotional support animals.
Their ability to sense our feelings shows just how deep the bond between dogs and humans truly is.
