Study Shows Dogs Can Tell Native Language From Unfamiliar Language

(Hungary) — A new study– ok, it’s a small study– shows dogs know when someone is speaking their native tongue or a foreign language. Hungarian researchers took brain scans from 18 dogs, showing that their brains lit up differently depending on whether they were hearing a familiar of different language. The study author says dogs are social beings and involving them in the family will give them opportunities to continue learning.
