dog or cat is nearby, literally buffering this like nervous system response.
And so there's like literally studies showing that the risk of like cardiovascular death is lower in people with dogs.
And it's pretty incredible.
Yeah, I would presume so.
Basically interacting with the dog
the patterns of kind of what it does to your brain and body line up very closely with what happens when you interact with the person like it the relationship between humans and dogs is basically driven by oxytocin the same system that guides human relationships and parent relationships
There's actually a very strong theory that dogs have basically hijacked our like parent child bonding systems to get into our social circles because evolutionarily existing together is good for us, for both of us.
So over millennia, like 40,000 years, domestic dogs have been evolutionarily shaped to connect better with humans.
And so they've actually taken on all these new traits that are different from wolves, which is what dogs evolved from.
Like, for example, they have a muscle in their eyes that allows them to raise their inner eyebrow, which is like puppy dog eyes.
Yeah.
And wolves don't have this.
Yeah, I mean, probably what happened is it's some way along a wolf was born or a dog was born with this muscle and humans loved it.
They were like, this dog is so cute.
We want this one.
And then that one was bred.
There's some evolutionary selection pressure.
The selection pressure is this like term for what makes...
certain types of a species continue to exist.
Some of it was like just being around humans made dogs survive.
