A Wrinkle in Time

Do you prefer dogs or cats? A dog person?A cats person?(raise your hand) OK.The topic of my presentation is “Dogs”. Sorry, cat people！ After this speech you will be able to understand dog's feelings. I would like to talk about three things. First,“How to distinguish the true smile from a stress-smile”. Next,“The Calming Signal”. Finally, “ The feeling of dogs”. 1.How to distinguish the true smile from a stress-smile Please look at this photograph. Do you think this dog is smiling? Actually no.This is called the “Stress Smile”. Compare two photographies. The right dog seems to be happy at first glance. But it feels strong stress. Because it wrinkles up corner of the mouth and the nose. Freezes up the body , the eyes are raised and the ears are picked up. How about the left dog? The true smile is more relaxed facial muscles. Like this. 2.The Calming Signal The calming signal is animal's body language. If you understand the signal correctly , you'll build a better relationship with your pet. Noteworthy points are their eyes , ears and the position of their face. Looking each other in the eyes means “love and trust” for humans. But dogs are completely different. To keep a gaze expresses “hostility or threats”in the dog world. So they often give these friendly signals to show that there is no hostility. Turn the head to break off eye-contact , blink eyes and slick down ears. In the case like this photograph , the dog owner angry but the dog is calm. It's like saying “Please calm down”. Their body language has been called the“calming signal”, because it's used to calm someone or themselves. 3.The feeling of dogs According to the inspection of Stanley Coren who is a psychologist and dog ethologist from Canada , of the 250 dogs 81% don't like to be hugged. The signal that I just described is also used in the expression of stress or anxiety. The dog being hugged is will send those signals. If you realize it , immediately please stop . We tend to humanize them when in contact with animals. But they are the creatures that have a different habit. Please understand their behavior properly and respect it. I think most behavior-problems that dogs cause we don't understand and raise their stress level. We should provide a stress-free life for dogs. The time to spend with them is much less than expected. I hope all dogs live happily.(続きを読む)
