#Dogs
o Study: Dogs really can recognize their owners by their voice alone.
o Researchers hid strangers and the dog’s owner in various boxes and had them call for them. May of the stranger’s voices were similar to the dog owner’s voices.
o The dogs correctly identified where their owners were hiding 82 percent of the time.
o Because they have a great sense of smell, they only used recordings of each person’s voice during the final two rounds and they still approached the box playing their owner’s voice.
o This is the first demonstration that dogs can tell apart their owner’s voice from many other voices using pitch and noisiness.
