The article, written by Giorgio Maggiolo, addresses a crucial issue in the relationship between humans and dogs: the language of dogs and the understanding of their emotions. Many of us, even though we share our lives with a dog, are not fully aware of the complex system of signals through which dogs communicate. We tend to interpret dog behavior superficially, often judging them for actions that we do not fully understand. This article explores how dogs not only react to our gestures, but express deep emotions such as stress, fear and frustration through concrete behaviors. The key to a serene and harmonious relationship with our four-legged companion lies in mutual understanding and the ability to decipher their messages, in order to respond appropriately to their emotional and behavioral needs.
