Do dogs recognize their owners?

Dogs recognize their owners. Dogs generally only recognize one owner in their lifetime, and they have a high degree of obedience and loyalty to the owner after recognizing the owner. After the dog recognizes the owner, it will become very clingy to the owner and always likes to snuggle at the owner's feet. And always want the owner to touch him, and will take the initiative to get close to the owner. When the owner is happy or sad, the dog can feel the owner's emotions and accompany the owner.

How do dogs recognize their owners:

1. Sense of smell: Dogs mainly rely on smell to identify things, including their owners. Dogs have about 125-200 million olfactory cells, and they can recognize more than 20,000 odors. So we usually see that dogs often sniff their owners and lick their owners. The dogs are remembering your smell, and they can recognize you at a glance even in a group of people.

2. Dynamic vision: Dogs have average vision, they are color weak, not color blind. The farthest vision of dogs can only see 50 meters, but it does not prevent dogs from recognizing human faces.

Dogs have excellent dynamic vision and can observe fast-moving objects. Therefore, in daily life, the dog has already remembered the owner's figure, movement and appearance. Many people should not be aware that dogs rely on dynamic vision to recognize their owners.

3. Hearing: The ears of dogs are very sensitive, and their hearing range is 15Hz-50000Hz, which is about 16 times that of humans. So every time you open the door, you will find that the dogs have already greeted you because they heard that you are coming back.

The dog can judge which footsteps belong to the owner, and can also rely on the tone, speed, and tone of the owner's speech to judge the real owner. So talk to your dog more, and it will know you too.

4. Memory: The dog has lived with the owner for a long time, and the owner's living habits and behavior characteristics have long been remembered by the dog. These will become the dog's long-term memory. So the dog can recognize the owner at a glance because the dog is very familiar with the body language of the owner, and can know which one is its owner just by looking at the movements.
