Understanding Dog Humor"},"content":{"rendered":"

Dogs are silly and adorable fuzzballs, but do we make them laugh as they do to us? Funny enough, dogs actually can laugh! Obviously, it doesn\u2019t sound the same as a human\u2019s laugh, but when dogs make that forced breathy sound (that isn\u2019t panting), they\u2019re laughing! This usually happens in times they\u2019re happy like during playtime, similar to how young children interact with laughter.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Funny?<\/h2>\n

Unlike humans, dogs can\u2019t just tell a joke and crack up in laughter. So what do they find funny? Dogs tend to laugh when they\u2019re doing things that make them happy, like spending time playing with you! It\u2019s their way of showing they\u2019re in a good mood and wanting to play. Dogs often laugh the most around their owners because they know them the best and have good relationships with them. Author Konrad Lorez explains that laughter on a dog can be seen when their lips are loose and curled on the ends, kind of like when they\u2019re smiling!<\/p>\n

History of a Dog\u2019s Laugh<\/h2>\n

Studying<\/a> dogs\u2019 laughs and sense of humor dates back to work done by Charles Darwin. Studies done comparing canine and human behavior discovered a sense of humor and playfulness was common among dogs and they even sometimes tried to play tricks on their humans as a joke. So don\u2019t be surprised when your dog catches on to your joke of pretending to throw a ball during fetch.<\/p>\n

Funnier Breeds?<\/h2>\n

Any dog that has an owner that loves to be playful with them is bound to be more prone to laughter, but there are some breeds that are said to have a better sense of humor. Dog breeds that are the most playful are supposedly the funniest and happy-go-lucky dogs! Playful dogs are those who love to interact with others, play with toys, and are at their best when on the go. Dog breeds like Poodles, Golden Retrievers, and English Springer Spaniels have the best sense of humor! Dogs that are known for working tend to be more serious in nature and don\u2019t have the same sense of humor as these playful pooches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
