Dogs Hear Our Words and How We Say Them (VIDEO)
Caption
When people hear another person talking to them, they respond not only to what is being said -- those consonants and vowels strung together into words and sentences --but also to other features of that speech -- the emotional tone and the speaker's gender, for instance. Now, a report in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on November 26 provides some of the first evidence of how dogs also differentiate and process those various components of human speech.
