LONDON, ENGLAND -- It looks like dogs may realize when their owner tells them "I love you."
Canine Cottages' new study followed four dogs for a week while tracking their heart rates. When the owners told their dogs they loved them, the dog's heart rates increased on average 46 percent.
The study also found dogs' heart rate decreases by 23 percent on average when they cuddled with their owners.
Veterinarian Dr. Steven Wolchinsky talks about how we can keep our pets healthy and safe, especially under the pandemic. Listen to the full interview with 104.7 WONK FM's Jen Richer here:
