  • Dogs Comfort Owners!

    Or why we love dogs - a stupid cay wouldn't do this!

    Dogs go out of their way to help upset owners, study shows

    Dogs will make a speedy effort to comfort their owners if they think they are upset, a study has shown for the first time.

    Although anecdotally, dog owners claim that their pets are in tune with their emotions and will offer support in times of crisis, it has never been scientifically tested before.

    In a new study, scientists from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, US, took 34 dogs and positioned them behind a door which was closed with magnets, with their owners on the other side.

    While sitting behind the door, the owners were asked to either hum "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" or pretend to cry.

    They found that many of the dogs nosed their way through the door but did it three times more quickly when they thought their owners were upset and needed comforting.

    My cats always knew when I was upset, and they always came to me for a cuddle.

          We dog owners know this from our own experience. We really do not need a study, but it does not hurt.
          Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

            My dog Max would rush and attack anyone who even pretended to hit me. Well, he would chew their pants leg and bark. My last dog Taz, would run away and bark from afar. LOL.

              Since my cancer problem has appeared our dog has been way more loving and comforting towards me. And she does comfort me, that is she does make me feel better.

                    My Aussi Blue is in tough shape. He just started falling over when walking yesterday, took him to the vet - inner ear infection or a brain tumor. They want $1,300 for an MRI, which I can't afford. I hope it is only an ear infection, we love that boy...

                      They can't do an X-ray?

                      Are they putting him on antibiotics?

                      My brother has a blue heeler. Looks like a hyena. Sweet dog.

                        An X-ray is only useful for looking at hard materials like bone. A tumor isn't going to show up on that.

                          sure it will. How do you think they find lung cancer in people?

                          Although a CT scan (also an Xray) works better.

                            Yes, he is on a wide spectrum antibiotic, it will take a week to see if there is any change, if not it won't be good. And right, why wouldn't an X-ray be an option!? A tumor should show up on that correct? In any case there will be nothing to do if it is a tumor. Just make him happy with more treats and loving...

                              A hyena would seem to make a great match for a pirate.
