Dogs may be able to understand the owner's interpersonal relationship
It turns out Most dogs have the same attitude towards strangers, that is, they remain warning and show discord. Of course, this is just a behavior towards strangers whom they don’t understand. If the other party is someone who is relatively close to the owner, the dog is likely to show a different behavior.
Some people have done experiments to see whether dogs understand social interactions with their owners. The experiment shows that dog owners encounter difficulties, and then there will be the following types of people: 1. The owner seeks help from A, but the other party refuses to provide help to the owner and turns away. 2. The owner seeks help from B, and the other party also provides help to the owner. In order to make the experiment more accurate, they also set up a control group. The dog owner did not ask C for help, but C still turned around. In each of these groups, there was a D sitting on the other side of the owner, but he did not participate in the experiment from beginning to end.
Next, let the four people ABCD feed the dogs food. The dogs in the general experiment will avoid A and absorb more of the food from BCD. However, the amount of food B among them was not much more than that of C and D. The dogs refused to give food to the people who did not provide help to their owners, indicating that they may be able to understand the interaction of the third party.
Dogs are very sensitive to human interaction, this is something we all know. As for whether dogs can judge interpersonal relationships between people, we are not yet completely sure. However, this experiment also provides some evidence that dogs can understand the interpersonal relationships between people, but naturally it is not completely certain. Because the main target during this experiment is the owner of the dog, and dogs often have deep feelings for their owners, so they will be particularly concerned about the third party’s attitude towards their owners. If the second party If the readers are strangers, the results may be biased. But no matter what, this experiment can at least prove that dogs still have a certain understanding of human relationships.
