Dog-human interactionOwnerFamiliar personUnfamiliar personSeparationObedienceThere are few quantitative examinations of the extent to which dogs discriminate between familiar and unfamiliar persons. In our study we have investigated whether dogs show differential behaviour towards humans of different degrees of...
alone cannot account for dogs’ distinguishing reactions. Moreover, the results yield a rather large effect of condition. If our findings reflected only formed (or not formed) associations, variability among dogs should have been much higher mirroring different levels of exposure to human interaction...
put strips of paper under the dogs' eyes. They then checked to see if, and when, the dogs cried. The scientists found that when the humans and dogs were reunited after five to seven hours of separation, the dogs she...
Here we used the objective, anatomically-based tools, FACS and DogFACS (Facial Action Coding Systems), to quantify and compare human and domestic dog facial expressions in response to emotionally-competent stimuli associated with different categories of emotional arousal. We sought to answer two ...

Dogs and humans have been sharing a common environment for a long time. Some aspects of their social interaction are described as communication in which members of both species influence each other's behaviour by special behaviour signals. Recent research is aimed at providing an evolutionary account...
In one experiment, dogs were put in a room with their owners. The researchers tracked their interaction and measured oxytocin levels through urine samples. People whose dogs had the most eye contact with them — a mutual gaze — registered the largest increases in oxytocin levels. The dogs also...
1. What can we say about humans’ interacting with other people’s dogs? A. It’s a two-way street. B. It’s a risky behavior. C. It’s human nature. D. It’s an act of love. 2. Why have so many researchers studied human-animal interaction? A. This field is new to them....
At the International Conference on Human Robot Interaction2020. Researchers at Yale University’s Social Robotics Lab tested how dogs responded to instructions from robots. A group of 34 dogs participated in the experiment, and each dog was tested with either a speaker or a human-like robot in ...
Domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) have been shown to actively initiate triadic communicative interactions by looking at a human partner or by alternating their gaze between the human and an object when being faced with an out-of-reach reward or an unsolvable problem. It has hardly been investigated...
