It is known that dogs are good at sensing human fear. Scientists have proven this – research has shown that dogs use their sense of smell for this.

That is, they capture adrenaline produced by the human body in stressful situations.

But do these animals sense bad people? Let's try to figure it out.

In Liverpool, doctors have found that dogs most often get angry at emotionally unstable people, as well as at unfamiliar two-legged creatures.

Often in such cases the dog can bite the person. Especially if the person tries to pet it.

The dog may interpret such actions as aggression, an attempt to invade its personal space.

Dogs also don't like it when people tease them or make fun of them.

Pets really don't like drunk citizens, as well as those who shout and wave their arms.

By the way, dogs are also good at recognizing liars. If you once lured him with a bowl that didn't contain any food, he won't come to you again.

If you have a strong, pungent smell of perfume, or any other strong smell, the dog will consider you “bad” and will try to drive you away from its territory.

And one more thing. Often, domestic dogs on walks bark and try to bite other animals or people.

But in most cases this is a manifestation of fear or a desire to protect its owner from a possible threat.
