(Health-NewsWire.Net, December 11, 2015 ) A study conducted in UK with 2 researchers at Goldsmiths College in London, Deborah Custance and Jennifer Mayer, set out to determine if dogs can feel empathy – an ability to truly understand emotion. Whether you have felt or not, the moment your Ceaser see you sitting depressed or tired, he will come trying to comfort you.
To withstand this , the 2 researchers gathered a group of largely untrained pets, mostly mixed breeds and equally divided between males and females. Then they set up a situation with the dog's owner and a stranger to the dog. The owner and the stranger would alternately talk, hum in an odd way or even cry. The researchers wanted to see how the dogs reacted.
Unbelievable !!!! the dogs responded – 15 of the 18 in the study , by seeking out the person in distress, even if that person was the stranger. “on the surface, if certainly seemed as if the dogs were demonstrating empathy” - says Custance, who thought that if the dogs were seeking comfort for themselves they would go to their care-taker. She added that they had really benefited from dogs. Its definitely a symbiotic relationship.
The director of Emory Center for Neuropolicy in Atlanta, Georgia – Gregory S Berns, found that the dog not just have learned to endure hostile conditions but apparently to enjoy it. He spent a year together with an assistant and a dog trainer to prepare dogs for the fMRI. Since the Navy dog had learned to handle the noise of a helicopter. Berns prepared dogs for the noise of the procedure by having them trained to wear ear plugs. Berns and his team was successful in discovering that dogs brains are much more responsive when information comes from humans.
He also said that dogs were looking at us, just as we like looking at them. this means that dogs feel empathy.
