Summary:
Dogs are very similar to humans in many ways. They have personalities, different moods, and react differently according to the situation. Recent studies have shown that many dogs that turn anxious when left alone, also tend to show a "pessimistic" like behavior. So how does a dog show a "pessimistic" like behavior? Well one way that scientists have studied this, is through a "dog bowl" test, in which dogs either choose to go, or not to go to the dog bowl, depending on whether it is empty or not.
Opinion:
What have recent studies proven about dog's attitude? To sum things up, dogs like humans are all different. Some may tend to be more optimistic/pessimistic with their owner around, others when they are left alone. No studies can actually read what is going on inside a dog's mind, but we can make predictions depending on the dog's environment, breed, gender, etc. This article really got me thinking about the characteristics and traits of dogs compared to humans and how truly similar we are.
