Beyond Food: A Deeper Connection
The research underscores the idea that dogs don’t just associate humans with food. Their attachment to us transcends basic needs and stems from genuine affection and social ties. This goes a long way in breaking certain stereotypes surrounding our canine friends, emphasizing their capability for genuine connection.

Further studies from Emory University in Atlanta, USA, have identified a specific brain region linked to positive emotions. This region is found in both humans and dogs, reinforcing the belief that dogs can, indeed, feel love and affection.
“This scientific revelation strengthens what many pet owners have always felt – that their dogs share genuine emotions and affection towards them.”
