Yes, dogs can sense emotions! They’re incredibly attuned to changes in your tone, body language, and even your scent, which changes when you’re stressed. Studies have shown dogs can detect cortisol levels and respond to your emotional state. When your dog cuddles you during tough times, it’s their way of comforting you. To deepen this bond, spend quality time with them through play or walks, as it reassures them of your connection. Your furry friend’s empathy is part of why dogs are such cherished companions—they truly are your emotional cheerleader.
