Science: puppies understand human stuff even if they've never met us
Date: 2021-06-07 00:00:00

Scientific American reports a study that shows 8 week old puppies already respond to social cues that humans give them, such as pointing at food hidden under cups. It's the "most adorable study of the year" so far.

Emily Bray: "Are you the best puppy? Yes, you are! Of course you are. That's a good puppy!"

Hopkin: During this interaction, the researcher would record how much time the pup spent gazing at her with joyous anticipation and then compare it with how the other puppies behaved.
