Would you be  surprised if I  tell  that some  people think that  if a  Chihuahua and a  human were in  danger, and you  just have the chance to  save just one of  them,  most of  them would  prefer to  save the Chihuahua?

Most of Chihuahua owners love too much their four-legged friends that  they treat them like if they were kids.  In addition, some others prefer to spend their time with their dog rather than a friend or family member.

Researchers from Northwestern University of Colorado  have  shown  that many  people feel  more  empathy  with a  dog  than a  human.  The  study was  developed by 260  students.  They  read a  fake new about a beaten adult and  dog.  The  result was surprising showing that most of the  students would  prefer to  save the  dog rather than the  human mentioned in the  fake news.

In the given  fake news, the  victim was  attacked by someone and was  left without conscious with one  broken leg and some other injuries.  The  study in  fact revealed that most of them  felt empathy for  dogs than the  human.

Another  fact that  scientists have  found is that  dog owner do not have problems  spending money in their  dogs,  most of them  are willing  o spend as much  money as possible  o see their pups happy. Moreover, the  study demonstrated  that  dog  owners are willing to  donate money  to charity to  help dogs rather than  humans.

A  study was  realized with 300  people,  they were  not told what the  experiment was  about in  order  to get an accurate result.  In the  experiment they were  asked to  choose that if the  had 100  dollars how much money would  they donate to  help dogs and  how much o  help humans.  The result average  gotten was that if  they had 100 dollars 70 were  going to  be for  helping dogs and 30 for  humans.

A  study published in the  journal Scientific Reports was  done last  month.  The  study showed why  dog owners are  so attached to their  dogs. Dogs make more  facial movements  when a  human is paying attention to them, that  was what researching team said.

In addition, some others prefer to spend their time with their dog rather than a friend or family member.

What was  thought by the  team before  was that animal  facial expressions were unconscious However, the  study showed  that  dogs raise  their  eyebrows  and  even  make their  eyes  bigger  when  they are  trying to  get attention  from their  owners  or a  person.
It was also shown that the  presence of  treats did not have  impact on the  expressions the  dogs made,  suggesting it wasn’t about them turning on the  charm to get extra snacks.  In spite of that, the researchers concluded it could be a route of communication between the owner and dog.

The study did not surprise animal trainers.  They knew it or were  expecting for the result.  Russell  Hartstein said:  Dogs give us their unconditional love, and many times people built stronger bonds with their Chihuahua than another human.
