Dogs process sound in a similar way to humans
There was a study in Hungary that looked at how dog process sound, and it’s the same as us; it’s the same part of the brain. What this means is that when dogs hear whimpering and angry barking (emotional dog noises), they have the same physical reactions as we do. Emotionally charged human noises, cause the same effects. Simply put, humans and dogs react the same way to emotional dog and human noises. That said, it was proven that dogs are more reactive to canine sounds, than human sounds.
