Legends are told about dog loyalty, poems are written and movies are made about it. No one doubts that a dog always remembers and remains faithful to its owner.
But in some situations, a dog can forget a person. This feature is provided by nature.
When the emotional associations with it are very weak, and new ones, on the contrary, are very strong. This allows dogs to adapt to new living conditions quite easily, - the head of the Russian Cynological Federation Vladimir Golubev told Radio 1 in an interview.
This means that the dog may forget its owner, whom it will not see for a long time.
Dog memory
The expert noted one feature of the dog's memory device.
It allows the animal to adapt to a new situation without any extra effort, that is, to forget the previous owner.
But in some cases, a dog can remember a person for a long time, which is due to a strong emotional connection with him.
The dog will remember the owner both because of the strong positive emotions experienced and because of the fear experienced.
Another situation is explained by the pet’s hyper-attachment to the person.
This is an unhealthy situation for animals to find themselves in if they are not socialized.
