Researchers discovered that interacting with your pet can change the way your pet's brain works.
The study, that was published by the journal of Advanced Science, found that staring into your dogs eyes can sync up their brain with yours. Scientists call this "interbrain coupling." Specifically, this type of bonding followed a Leader-follower dynamic, with the human as the leader and the pet as the follower which makes sense for a pet owner/ pet relationship.
