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...

Interestingly, dogs can cooperate with human partners in a string-pulling task as well as wolves can; however, wolves were more likely to initiate movement leading the interaction with humans, whereas dogs were more likely to wait for the human to initiate actions and then follow30. Dogs were...
However, because our design includes both the bystander and the player, if dogs were simply using humans as social tools or exhibiting a preference for interaction, they would not exhibit a preference for re-engaging the player, but instead direct these behaviors uniformly to any present human. ...
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...
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 ...
such as reuniting with their owners." He added: "Their tears might play a role in the deepening of mutual relationships." He believes the tears may make humans love their dogs more. He said: "It's possible that dogs...
–human relations: sensory collaboration (interspecies perspectival sharing), autonomous social interaction (communal dog sharing), and cosmological relatedness (expressed through funerary rites). Emphasizing dogs as subjects, the article identifies canine-related practices of potentially deep historical and ...
