For many years, pet enthusiasts have been actively arguing about one thing: Do dogs understand humans better than cats? Although both dogs and cats have a close relationship with humans, they have different methods of understanding human behavior. This is why the question above has been widely argued for many years.
Dogs have been living with humans for over 15,000 years. Due to this long relationship, dogs were domesticated to work with humans in hunting, guarding, herding, and as companions. Because of their long relationship with humans, dogs have a strong ability to understand human social behavior. Research has shown that dogs are able to follow pointing, understand tone of voice, and even recognize happy and angry faces. When a dog encounters a problem, it will often look to its human for help, just like children do.
