Second, can dogs really understand our conversations?

Amidst the laughter, there was no shortage of netizens asking questions: can dogs really understand our conversations?

In response, animal behaviorists have provided expert answers.

They point out that although dogs are unable to understand complex linguistic structures as well as humans, they have learned to recognize specific sound patterns, intonation variations, and body language through long periods of coexistence with humans.

Therefore, when the puppy sees its owner and friends talking enthusiastically and in high spirits, it is likely to interpret this atmosphere as a “pleasant social event” and choose to join in as a participant, such as sitting and wagging its tail, which are its attempts to integrate into the group in response to social signals.
