Dogs are amazing animals. Why? Simply because they have an innate ability to sense what we are feeling.
This is the reason why dogs are very good service dogs. They often know and anticipate our feelings, and so, they can react in time according to our needs.
When you feel happy, a dog might wag its tail and play with you. And when you feel down and sad, a dog will comfort you with its presence. They have some sort of healing aura that makes you feel good when they are around. Petting them further increases that feeling.
If you are wondering how a dog’s innate sense of knowing how we feel works in the real world, then the featured video below will show you just that. A man and his dog are out for a stroll when they decided to rest on a bench on the side of the road. While the man is sat on the park bench, his dog chose to stay farther away, just across from an older man sitting on the bench on the opposite side of the walkway.
The dog’s owner sees that the man is interested in his pooch, and so, he tells his dog to go and say “hi” to the stranger. Surprisingly, the dog knew what his owner meant and immediately walked towards the man across them. He sat close to the man and even comfortably shows his back to him, a sign that he trusts the stranger.
The man gladly pets the pup and it is obvious on his face that he loves petting the dog. The dog’s owner later found out when the man told him that he recently lost his beloved dog. No wonder why the pooch wanted to sit across from the man and decides to trust a total stranger! He wanted to comfort him for his loss.
Watch how a dog comforts a man who lost his four-legged friend in the video below.
