Did you ever wonder why dogs tilt their heads? 🤷♂️🐶 This study reveals it might be their way of understanding you better! It's their adorable attempt at processing what you're saying. 🧠🔍
Sommese says that the finding came as a surprise; the scientists stumbled upon it while conducting a small study of gifted “word learner” dogs. While most dogs have a hard time learning the names of even two toys, these seven special pups could remember and retrieve at least 10 different toys, by name, after learning them from researchers.
Nalani, one of the gifted "word learner" dogs featured in the study, sits atop a treasure trove of toys. The study authors found that when prompted by a command from their owner, the gifted dogs cocked their heads 43 percent of the time, compared to just 2 percent of the typical dogs. Thus,— meaning that the pups are likely paying attention or even matching the toy’s name with a visual memory of it in their head.
“Maybe it helps them see better or hear better — and get a different perspective,” Udell says. “Lots of species will move their heads or bodies to respond to important stimuli in order to get a better sense of what that thing is.”
