Así te podés dar cuenta si tu perro es feliz, según la ciencia

Los perros han sido fieles compañeros de los humanos desde tiempos históricos. Ese vínculo se fortaleció con el tiempo, dándole lugar a una de las cualidades más grandes que tienen estos animales: la lealtad.

Muchos de ellos, forman parte de procesos terapéuticos donde cumplen un rol fundamental. También son muy buenos para la búsqueda y el rescate de personas.

Con la gran cantidad de razas que hoy en día existen, esta mascota se ha vuelto un integrante fundamental de las familias. Pero, ¿es realmente feliz en tu hogar? ¡Descubrilo a continuación!

Ciencia: ¿qué dice el estudio sobre la felicidad de tu perro?

Según el estudio de Takefumi Kikusui, un investigador de la Universidad Azubu de Japón, los perros tienen habilidades sociocognitivas, que son similares a las de los humanos (y se cree que es como consecuencia de su propia evolución a lo largo de los años).

En ese sentido, los perros secretan lágrimas cuando se reúnen con sus dueños, lo que les genera una mayor producción de oxitocina (una hormona que se libera cuando un animal siente amor o calma).

La hipótesis del estudio japonés asegura que los animales que segregan lágrimas lo hacen de felicidad al ver que sus dueños se aproximan a ellos. Y esa es una forma de demostrarlo, junto con los saltos o el movimiento de la cola.

¿Por qué los perros tienen una mayor conexión con los humanos?

En 2020, un estudio del sitio Plos One demostró que los perros son capaces de entender y saber si su dueño se encuentra en peligro.

En el experimento, 60 perros estuvieron dentro de una caja, donde podían ver alguna situación alarmante que les sucedía a sus dueños. Entre sus reacciones, lo primero que hacían era ladrar, aullar e intentar salir de la caja.
