How? I'm sick right now and my dog always comes on to me, licks me, sits with me, trys to cheer me up, and when I was a kid I hurt myself (I forget how) I was crying and my dog jumped on my lap and cheered me up. How do dogs know when your sick or hurt?

I would guess by body language and smell. Dogs are social animals and much of their communication is through body language. (But don't forget their vocalizations. Try this with your dog: A dog's laugh sounds like a rapid pant. You must have heard it while playing with him. Do a dog laugh at him & see what happens :-)) Believe me, your dog knows when you're happy, angry, sad or even sick.
Also, Dogs' sense of smell is several hundred times greater than humans'. Dogs have noticed cancer on people & it's thought to be through smell.

Well, if your best friend in the while entire world was sick, you would just have to look at them and you would know that they're sick. Even if you just talked on the phone with them, you would probably tell that they were sick. Well, dogs are the same way. You're their best friend and they can tell when you're upset or sick, and since dogs are such good friends, they hate to see you like that, so they think they can fix everything that's wrong by showing you that they care!(Licking you and cuddling with you!)

you may't Seven hours is way too lengthy for the dogs to be left by myself. end being a egocentric brat " i'm prepared to do each and each of the artwork' No you at the prompt are not. you'll do purely a fragment of the artwork then strengthen bored of the dogs and then have no longer something to do with it. dogs want more suitable then one walk an afternoon. because you're unwilling and unable to placed the artwork in it particularly is necessary, you don't want a dogs you gained't have time to coach the dogs and your panrts understand they are going to be those who've to do each and each of the artwork once you change into bored. you isn't paying for any of the nutrients or vet expenditures both

Aside from all the other answers all I can say is because, They are man's best friend!" I love my Golden Retriever and whenever I am not feeling "normal" she is right there to kiss and cuddle with me. If I don't/won't respond, she continues until I give in and pet her or hug her and guess what, I feel instant tranquility! Gotta love our pets!

I believe that every human emotion has a smell to dogs,like they say fear has a smell we sweat a small amount chemistry all the time ,and dogs read it like a language. combine with body language.

Dogs sense your energy, when you're happy, sad, angry etc. Many dogs know the emotions of their owners better than the owners themselves.

Usually they can smell that you are sick. They can detect the tiniest change in your odor due to illness. Also, they pick up on your emotions when you are sick, tired, sad, or angry and react to them.

They are way more in tune with us than we are them. And we think we're the smart ones!
