According to psychology, dogs don't just live with us, they feel us. Psychologists say dogs can sense human emotions through tiny changes in our scent, heartbeat, and even the tone of our voice. When you're sad, your body releases different chemicals, and your dog smells that change instantly. He doesn't need words. He walks closer, rests his head on your lap as if to say, "I know." When you're anxious, your heart beats faster. So does his. He mirrors your stress, then lowers his own heartbeat to calm you down. It's empathy built into his biology. That's why when you cry, he doesn't look away. He watches quietly, trying to understand the pain that has no smell, no shape, just energy. Scientists found that even your dog's brain lights up differently when you say his name in a loving tone. To him, your happiness is home. Your sadness is a call for help. He doesn't just sense your emotions, he absorbs them. Because in his world, your heart and his beat in the same rhythm.
