(Photo from iStock royalty-free images.)Īccording to the American Kennel Club (AKC) article “Do Dogs Cry? New Study Shows Dog Tears Facilitate Canine-Human Bond” by Carly Silver, dogs develop tight emotional relationships with their owners, having great social intelligence and displaying human-like emotions. A man, who looks sad, appears to be trying to get some sympathy from his dog by holding his face close to his. And they certainly express it.Ī recent (Japanese) study even reveals that when dogs are reunited with their owners after being separated, they might shed happy tears, as noted in the journal Current Biology((22)01132-0). Have you ever gazed at your dog’s eyes as she is being punished, when she is weak or sick, or as she watch you leave for work for the day? You know that dogs can definitely feel sad. However, these emotion-driven tears may not be fully exclusive to human experience. We may feel sad or happy or even fearful, as long as the emotion is a bit intense for us to not be able to hold back the waterworks display. When we, humans, are overcome with emotion, we shed tears.
