Many animals can pick out auditory patterns in human speech—but it turns out that dogs are particularly good at doing so.
It is no secret that dogs are pretty special when it comes to how interested they are in humans and how they interact with us.
In 2016 the university group showed that dogs activate different neural pathways to recognize the meaning of words than they do to sense changes in emotional intonation. But no one knew whether the animals could distinguish actual human speech from slightly different sounds that did not constitute a long string of words. An no one knew whether a dog could pick up when a person was speaking a different language.
Then the researchers tried to test whether the dogs were responding to specific characteristics intrinsic to each language.
