A new study done by researchers at the University of Sussex in Brighton, UK shows that dogs are able to recognize other dogs from their barks. The researchers were able to see that dogs are able to detect the differences in words that had a slightly different vowel sound due to different accents in the voices and the age of the person calling them. By the way the dogs had putched their ears forward or move towards the speaker when hearing a certain sound was how the researchers were able to tell that the dogs were able to detect the difference. Another finding these researchers were able to discover was that dogs recognize words irrespective of the speaker. The scientists cannot show that dogs actually understand the words we tell them, but are certaintly listening to what we say.
