Dogs laugh. This conclusion was made by expert of animal protection center in USA.
Patricia Simonet, working in orphanage for dogs in Spokane town, recorded sounds domestic dogs emits at the moment, when master goes for a walk with them. This experiment was the part of doctoral thesis, having the theme of animal`s behavior.
The record was played in orphanage for homeless dogs and it was established that sounds had a positive influence on nervous dogs. "I wanted to check if I can reduce stress of dogs in orphanage this way. I was surprised how soon they calmed down", - says Patricia.
In her opinion, sounds, emitted by dogs before long-expected walk, can be compared with laughter, when human expresses pleasant emotions.
Director of center said that she has worked in dogs` orphanage for 20 years and has never seen such an effect. By her words, she intends to put dynamics in the rooms and broadcast dog`s laughter.
