Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Inside Man’s Best
Friend, Study Says, May Lurk a Green-Eyed Monster
Do pet dogs become
jealous? Some might have observed their pet dog trying to draw attention when
their master is attentive to something else, like other pets. And sometimes they
become a little aggressive to their competitor by interrupting the master, or barking
or even biting the object. It sounds pretty much like humans, doesn’t it?
An American Phycologist,
not on animals but on humans, who has been studying human jealousy put her eyes
on pet dogs and ventured an interesting test. She used a stuffed dog, Jack-o’-lantern,
and Children’s book and compared what reaction the tested dogs demonstrated on
each object.
Enjoy reading and
learning how dogs react to different objects that draw their masters’
attention.
