Dogs Can Smell Your Emotions (Here's The Science)

Описание: Your dog knows when you’re upset — not because you’re crying, but because they can smell it.

Dogs have over 300 million scent receptors (humans have about 5 million), allowing them to detect emotional changes, anticipate panic attacks, and even identify diseases before symptoms appear.

In this video, we explore the science behind canine emotional intelligence and explain how dogs experience human emotions on a chemical level.

You’ll learn:
✓ How dogs smell fear, happiness, and stress
✓ The 2018 study showing dogs detect human stress with over 90% accuracy
✓ Real cases of dogs detecting cancer before medical diagnosis
✓ Why your dog responds differently when your emotions change
✓ How 30,000 years of evolution created this unique bond

This isn’t sentiment. It’s chemistry.
