Scientists have finally answered the question dog owners about why their Pets are so attached to them.
Note that often people assume that the attachment of dogs to humans due to the fact that the owner gives her food. However, another study in this region showed that it is not.
Biologists have established the special equipment, which allowed them to record the reaction of the animal to the praise of the master, and also on food, reported in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience.
During the experiment, the dogs were asked to choose one of three items. In one of them she received the food, and for the second it was praised by the owner and the third dog didn’t get anything.
In the end, most dogs understand the algorithm, began to choose the praise of the master, and only a small portion of the dogs preferred the food.
Thus, scientists have proved that dogs love their masters not for the fact that those that feed them.
