Canadian scientist viewed 250 photos of dogs that hug, and realized that the dogs at this moment are very unhappy.
Dr. Score Stanley Koren claims it completely unequivocally. Of course, the dog can not speak, but, just like a person, it involuntarily gives bodily signals when it is in stress. And these signals are present at 82% of the photo, where anyone hugs animals.
So, the dog in stress turns his head, as if she would like to leave, but he understands that it is impossible, it is closed or too wide (so that the proteins are visible that the eyes are unusual for dogs) eyes open. Another sign of discontent can be pressed to the head ears.
Alas, but the fact that a person understands as an expression of love and trust, for a dog just a strange and not very pleasant capture. Although, by virtue of the upbringing, they usually suffer.
The best physical contact for the manifestation of his love in relation to the dog - scratching, patting and stroking. They are similar to the contact that the dogs themselves exchange each other, and do not cause anxiety if an animal has a good relationship with man.
