Dogs Can Be Pessimistic, Too

Did you know that recent studies have shown that dogs can be either optimistic or pessimistic?

Yup, these terms aren’t just for humans anymore. Recent advances in science have shown that usually the more anxiety your dog shows when you’re away (i.e. tearing up carpets, destroying shoes, etc.) means the more pessimism your dog tends to feel.

Before, people used to think that dogs were mostly happy in their outlook on life, but man were we wrong! So it’s obviously not just all flowers and unicorns for dogs now; they actually have greater depth than just raw feelings and emotions. So for all of you cat people who thought that dogs were dumb or superficial, take that!

That is precisely why, as you all know, dogs will always be man’s best friend.
