Dogs have a remarkable ability to connect with humans and build strong bonds with them. They’ve learned to become attuned to human emotions and have the amazing capability of sensing anxiety, depression, and other distress signals from humans.
Sometimes, it can feel like your dog has a sixth sense when it comes to your emotions. However, it’s possible that they’re just really good at using their sense of smell.
