Dogs are cute, dogs can be weird, and sometimes they can be downright hilarious. Some dogs, particularly Terriers, actually set out to entertain and make humans laugh. However, many dogs don’t really enjoy being laughed at, but we can laugh along with them and reward them for their comedy value.
And they know when we are happy too – dogs are not only sensitive to our voices, but can pick up on cues for human emotion very well, such as laughter or tears, happiness or sadness. Many dogs will connect our happiness with good times, or treats and affection.
