Dogs can recognize their owners by their voices alone by making use of some of the same voice properties as humans do, such as pitch and noisiness, a team of researchers found."This is the first demonstration that dogs can tell apart their owner's voice from many others," Andics Attila, leader of the lab where the study was carried out, said in a press release Tuesday.
"Dogs' high choosing success rate, their ability to discriminate their owner's voice from a variety of control voices, and the fact that dogs' choices were not confounded by either olfactory cues or speaker order indicate that dogs can reliably use identity cues carried by speech," the researchers wrote in the study.
