People have always believed that if you want to know a dog's mood or feelings, you can observe it through its tail. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this method. Now, some scientists believe that people can already know the dog’s emotions by understanding their facial expressions. This is a very interesting experiment and result. I believe that many dog ​​parents will not express any doubt at all.

According to a report in the British "Daily Mail", American psychologist Tina Bloom found a 5-year-old Belgian Shepherd and used various methods to guide it to make different expressions. The results were 88%, 70% and 70%, respectively. 45% of people were able to distinguish its happy, angry and fearful expressions from the photos, and the results were published in the journal Behavioral Processes.

Some of the dog's expressions are indeed obvious and easy to understand, especially happiness and anger. The front part will release positive messages through shining eyes and gentle movements, while the lips are fully turned back to expose the canine teeth, which is very classic. Expression of anger.

It is worth noting that an angry dog ​​will straighten its ears diagonally and forcefully backward, while sticking its ears softly back indicates submission, surrender or joy. This is also a very common way of communication between dogs, so, Dogs with cropped ears are easily perceived as threatening by others because their ears remain erect.

In addition, when a dog feels uneasy or scared, it will also put its ears back and tuck its tail. It may even tremble all over or want to find a place to hide.

Talking about happiness, many people think that the grinning expression of dogs means they are "laughing", but in fact, only humans and orangutans can grin to express happiness, while dogs will grin when they are panic or in pain. Also, as long as you open your mouth a little wider when sticking out your tongue to dissipate heat, the corners of your mouth will naturally tilt back.

Eyes are also very easy to use to observe the mood of a dog, especially for strangers or dogs. Staring directly with the eyes often represents provocation, so some people will tell you not to make eye contact with stray dogs casually. However, when a pet dog looks directly at its owner while wagging its tail, it often expresses waiting and expectation.

On the other hand, wandering eyes and avoiding sight means avoiding direct conflict. Dogs often have this reaction after doing something that makes their owners angry. They will lower their heads and roll their eyes up because they At this time, you don't dare to look up at people, and then your ears may be pressed back to what you just said. But it should be noted that just because dogs show fear of their owner’s anger does not mean that they know they have made a mistake.
