Summary

In this article, scientists attempt to study the emotions of dogs.In order to do this, the scientists used human psychology research. Using the "half-full, half-empty" method, the dogs were put in a room with an empty food bowl in one corner and a full food bowl in the other. The dogs that went to the position of the bowl with food were less likely to be anxious when left alone.

Opinion

I think this is a very interesting topic because most people think that dogs are always happy and optimistic. This study proves that to be wrong. I also think it was interesting because they used human psychology to conduct the experiment. This shows that humans and dogs are similar in the head. All in all, I think this was a very interesting and productive experiment.
