Dogs Laugh?
« on: December 05, 2005, 03:19:17 pm »

Saw this link over on newf.net, really interesting they are saying that a certain type of panting is equal to a dog laughing...

Darmok has a different style of panting when she's happy than if she's just tired--I always considered it to be laughing!

That's really cool! I think that dogs can laugh. Maybe every shelter should try the recording. I wonder how long it takes for the dogs to start barking again. hhhmmm interesting!

Yeah, I posted this yesterday, but nobody read my thread.   :'(  :'(

I'm curious to know how long they stay quiet as well.  If it is for awhile, one could make alot of money selling those tapes as training tools for continual barkers.

I deffinately think that Zoey has a laugh-pant. When we are playing and she is having fun or she gets to do something really special, she has a happy-pant that she does even though she's not tired or thirsty :)

Did anyone see this on GMA? They did research and played it in shelters and it calms the dogs when they hear the laugh.
