Do dogs really watch TV? Science says yes
The study from Auburn University found that dogs do engage with television, but their reactions vary. Researchers observed that some dogs actively watch the screen, while others show little interest. The study suggests that a dog's breed, age, and personality can influence their TV-watching behaviors. For instance, herding breeds tended to pay more attention to the screen compared to hounds. Older dogs also seemed more interested in TV than younger ones. Additionally, dogs with higher levels of trainability and energy were more likely to focus on the television. The findings indicate that dogs possess the visual acuity to perceive and process images on a screen, contrary to the common belief that they cannot see TV. This study provides insights into the cognitive abilities and diverse preferences of our canine companions.
