It has long been noted that dogs like to watch TV, but until now it was not known what exactly pets like to watch.

American scientists pondered this topic. The conclusions were made completely by accident.

American scientists have found out which videos dogs like the most, writes the journal Applied Animal Behavior Science.

As it turned out, this was done by accident, during an experiment to study the features of dogs' vision.

To do this, the animals were shown videos, and it was accidentally discovered that the dogs responded to different content with different interests.

Only 10% of the dogs tested liked the cartoons.

But dogs definitely liked the dynamic programs. Slow content did not arouse interest.
