Most dog lovers are familiar with a behavior colloquially termed "the zoomies". According to Dr. Stanley Coren, this behavior is most likely the result of a positive emotion in dogs. Sometimes dogs just need to get out a burst of happy energy! https://t.co/6H4eAF3jhR

#Dogs can infer the emotional state of people by accessing the information they’ve obtained from a person’s facial expression and that they’ve stored in their memory. And more, they use this information to solve problems. https://t.co/QxBHhAiPLf @nsalbuquerq (4/4)
