Dog-laughter: A Study by Simonet, Versteeg, and Storie 2005
"The dog laugh sounds similar to a normal pant. But by analysing the pant using a sonograph, this pant varies with bursts of frequencies, resulting in a laugh.
Domestic dogs have been sharing the company of humans for over 100,000 years.
With this lengthy common history, dogs and humans have developed common communication signals, such as eye gaze, touch, smiling, and laughter. When viewed on a spectrograph, human whispers appear very much like the forced breathy exhalation (laugh) of dogs with spiked high frequencies Perhaps, the whisper is a close approximation to the dog-laugh. When humans whisper they produce a pronounced forced breathy exhalation through the mouth. Dogs will often exhibit a play-face while producing the dog-laugh."
Does YOUR dog, cat, bunny, horse or pet laugh?
Do they laugh at your jokes???
Do they laugh at your sense of fashion?
Do they laugh when you laugh??
