Sometimes we become so accustomed to our dominant position in our relationship with our dog that we forget about the intellectual development of animals.
But our pets are incredibly smart.
What are some interesting facts about dog intelligence?
They understand us perfectly.
Dogs have quite an active brain, so they perfectly correlate what we say with certain facts. On average, any domestic dog knows at least 160 words.
In some cases, this figure is significantly higher, experts believe.
The dog reads our mood
You've probably noticed how your dog tries to cheer you up when you're feeling sad or hides when you're clearly not in the mood.
The fact is that the animal literally reads our mood from the smallest facial expressions and intonation.
Not even every person is capable of this.
Animals get depressed
We are used to the fact that only humans can experience depression. But this is a misconception. The dog's intellectual development allows it to analyze what is happening.
If certain events are colored negatively for an animal, then it is capable of experiencing depression.
Earlier we talked about why a domestic cat might bite.
