Manage episode 436449493 series 3446270
Does your dog truly love you or are they faking it? A recent Newsweek cover story posed that very question and revealed that scientific research provides an answer! Really, no Really!
But can science really prove how your dog feels about you? Or for that matter, can it prove TRUE love, between animals or people? Fascinated by the scientific inquiry, Jason and Peter turned to Dr. Gregory Berns…the Distinguished Professor of Neuroeconomics at Emory University, and the scientist who conducted the actual “Love Research”, even going so far as using MRIs to discover what’s really going on in a dog’s brain!
Pet parents…prepare yourself for the truth!
IN THIS EPISODE:
- So…do our dogs actually love us?
- How the dog, hunting Osama bin Laden led to the first canine MRI.
- Utilizing MRIs to determine dog’s true emotions.
- Food and praise light up a dog’s brain reward center but is that love?
