This Research Says Dogs Really Do Care if You’re Sad [VIDEO]

Because you'll never experience true love until you've owned a dog is one of the reasons why our family will soon become dog owners. But can a dog actually have empathy for people? Can they tell if their owners are sad? Even strangers? The results are fascinating from this recent research in Britain.

Dogheirs also tells us:

In the video, they demonstrate a few of the techniques they use to see how the dogs respond to strangers. In one clip, Dottie the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is brought out. Her reaction when she sees one of the researchers who she's never met crying, is really touching!

Isn't this something you've believed in all along? I have.
