You’ve probably come across the theory that canines can sniff out people’s personalities. But a new study in PLOS ONE, finds that both dogs and wolves do not assess individual people as “generous” or “selfish” in their direct and indirect interactions with those individuals. Positioned to inspire new ideas about the ways that dogs and wolves interact with others, the findings could improve our understandings of our furry friends.
