Have you ever noticed that when you yawn, your dog yawns also? A study published in the journal Biology Letters this week found that human yawns are contagious to dogs. Dogs are adept at reading human intentions and excel over other animals in picking up human hand gestures and other behavior cues.
This study demonstrates that dogs possess “some low-level attending to what others feel,” said anthropologist Brian Hare, who was not involved in the study. Another reason we know that dogs are man’s best friend.
