healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2022/12/30/how-dogs-view-the-world.aspx Story at-a-glance Researchers with Emory University in Georgia have come one step closer to uncovering how dogs view the world While humans may hone in on who or what is occurring, dogs, it seems, are most interested in the action itself The effort to essentially read dogs’ minds involved fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) By training dogs to lie still, without using any restraint or sedation, researchers were able to scan dogs’ brains and decode what they saw using a machine learning tool The tool revealed 99% accuracy in mapping brain data for object- and action-based classifiers when it came to human subjects For the dogs, the tool did not get results for the object classifiers, while it revealed 75% to 88% accuracy in mapping data for action classifiers; this suggests dogs were focused on action — not objects My notes: While humans tend to treat their pets as their kids, do not forget the fact they are animals with different wants & needs as well as how they view life in general.

Humans and animals care about different things.
