how does your dog react to sketchy
0:01
people think your dog has a built-in
0:03
radar for spotting Shady characters it
0:05
might sound like a superpower but dogs
0:06
are Masters at reading Vibes we humans
0:08
often miss but here's the controversial
0:10
part are they picking up on real danger
0:12
or are we just projecting keep listening
0:14
because I've got a tip on how to decode
0:16
your dog's instincts and a story that
0:18
might make you rethink their Sixth Sense
0:20
let's start with the science dogs have
0:22
Ultra sharp senses and a spooky ability
0:25
to read body language tone and even
0:27
smell a study from the University of H
0:30
sinki found that dogs can distinguish
0:32
between positive and negative human
0:34
emotions just by looking at our facial
0:36
expressions and when it comes to scent
0:39
dogs are Next Level they can detect
0:42
stress and fear in humans through
0:44
hormones like cortisol and adrenaline
0:47
both of which spike when someone's
0:49
nervous or lying it's basically like
0:51
carrying a neon sign that only your dog
0:53
can read ever seen your dog stiffen up
0:55
growl or avoid someone who seemed
0:57
perfectly nice to you that's not random
1:00
researchers at Kyoto University
1:02
discovered that dogs are less likely to
1:04
trust people who act suspiciously or
1:05
rudely if someone's being fake or their
1:08
actions don't match their words dogs can
1:11
pick up on those micro signals fake
1:13
Smiles awkward vibes your dog sees
1:17
through it all and here's something even
1:19
more bizarre dogs can hear your
1:21
heartbeat yep they can sense when
1:24
someone's heart rate speeds up which
1:26
often happens when someone's nervous or
1:28
hiding something it's like they have a
1:30
built-in liee detector except it's
1:33
covered in fur and only asks for belly
1:35
rubs but let's get real are they always
1:38
right that's where it gets tricky some
1:39
experts believe dogs instincts are
1:41
hardwired for survival and safety but
1:44
their radar isn't foolproof they might
1:46
react to something as small as a
1:47
person's nervous energy even if that
1:49
person isn't actually
1:51
dangerous that said dogs have a track
1:54
record of picking up on sketchy people
1:55
long before we do case in point I'll
1:59
never forget that time my dog Luna met a
2:01
friend of a friend who came over for
2:02
dinner Luna is the kind of dog who loves
2:05
everyone she practically throws herself
2:07
at strangers for belly rubs but this
2:10
time she stayed glued to my side kept
2:12
staring at the guy and refused to go
2:13
near him it was so out of character that
2:15
I started watching him more closely a
2:17
few weeks later I found out he'd been
2:19
lying to some mutual friends about let's
2:21
just say some shady stuff Luna had
2:24
clocked it before any of us did now
2:26
here's where it gets controversial are
2:28
dogs sensing Danger or are we just
2:30
reading too much into their behavior
2:32
honestly I think it's a little of both
2:35
dogs are emotional sponges and while
2:37
they might not have all the answers
2:39
their instincts are worth paying
2:41
attention to have you ever had your dog
2:44
dislike someone for no obvious reason
2:46
only to realize later they were right
2:49
tell me in the comments I want to hear
2:51
all the my dog knew before I did stories
2:55
here's the thing dogs don't just keep us
2:57
safe physically they're emotional
2:59
bodyguards too too trusting their
3:01
instincts could save you from more than
3:03
just a bad Vibe want to learn more about
3:05
how your dog's hidden talents protect
3:07
you in ways you'd never imagine stick
3:09
around for the next video you won't
3:11
believe what else they can do
