Your Dog Knows You're Coming Home Before You Even Arrive

Your dog knows you're coming home before you even reach the door. Science may have finally found out how, and the discovery at the end of this video is the one that surprised researchers the most. Every day you walk through the door and your dog loses their mind with joy. But what is actually happening inside them in the hours before you arrive, and in those first few seconds after? From the way their nose may "smell time" to what Japanese researchers found in their eyes, this will change how you walk through your front door. In this video: → How your dog may "smell time" while you're away (a leading hypothesis) → Why your dog hears you coming long before you reach the door → What Swedish researchers found about how long you were gone → The hidden meaning of which way your dog's tail wags → Where the face-licking greeting really comes from → What your touch does to your dog's body in the first minutes → The tear study from Azabu University that surprised the world 💬 Tell us your dog's name and age in the comments.
