In How Dogs Understand Us: Brain Power and Communication, host Harith Iskander explores how dogs process human speech. Research suggests that dogs think similarly to humans, as their brains use the left side to understand the meaning of words and the right side to interpret emotions or tone. By studying dog brains in an MRI machine, scientists have discovered that dogs not only hear what we say but also feel the emotions behind it. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Got Science?, a science magazine series that explores and explains science in everyday life.
