I’m more of a cat person, but I always thought it was really cool how well dogs and humans can communicate from 30,000 years of living together. I remember hearing about an experiment that showed dogs could read human body language (even humans they didn’t know) better than chimps, our closest relatives.
My dog knows when my wife gets a panic attack before me. She’s not a service dog or anything. Je was not trained for it. But if she starts hyperventilating or sobbing, she will go to her and boop her and try to put weight on her to comfort her. Sometimes it’s great sometimes it’s annoying but every time she gets a compliment.
