Judging from the title, it seems contrary to our common sense. How can a dog forget his mother? After being separated for the same amount of time, the owner left the dog with a deeper memory, and most of the dogs would forget their mother, especially those who left their mother after a month or two. In fact, this situation is not difficult to understand. It is related to the growth process of the dog, mainly the relationship between age, time and memory ability.
Now many pet dogs usually leave their mothers and brothers and sisters when they are 1-2 months old, because at this time they can already be weaned, and the dogs are already equipped to enter a new family under the care of the owner. This time is equivalent to the infancy of human beings.
People’s memory is not fully developed when they are young, and the things we can remember at most are about 3 years old, things in kindergarten. For a dog with an IQ lower than that much, it is a bit too harsh for us to remember what happened when we were 1-2 months old. When we humans are 2 months old, we may be sleeping all day long, and we spend more time closing our eyes every day than when we open them. People have to take care of Lazarus when we eat and drink, let alone remember any impressive things. Up.
So for a dog who has left his mother since he was a child, it is normal for a dog to forget his mother. It may not take many years. It is understandable for a dog to forget after a few months. If a dog has lived with his mother for many months or even years, it is not easy for him to forget his mother. Because it is slowly growing up, it has a deep memory of scent information. During the process from puppies to adult dogs, the dog has become accustomed to the smell of its mother, so it will not forget its mother.
benefits from the dog’s superior sense of smell. Even if the owner has been away from the dog for many years, the dog will recognize you. Some people, after raising a dog, may have been separated from the dog for a long time due to work reasons. The owner will worry about whether the dog will recognize him when they go home. Unexpectedly, the dog will shake immediately after returning. The tail greets itself.
Actually, when the dog sees the owner, it may not be able to recognize it immediately, but when it smells the owner, it will immediately know that this is the owner. Because it has stored your scent information in its own mind, even if you leave it soon after raising it, it will still smell your scent at home. The items you have used at home, the breath in your room, as soon as the dog smells you will check the information into the seat, knowing that you are at home, will not bark or attack you.
In addition, your family's attitude towards you will also affect the dog's attitude towards you. Dogs actually know how to look at their faces. If the owner is very friendly to the guests and shows great happiness, the dog knows that he cannot easily provoke the guests. And if the owner shows vigilance or resistance when seeing a stranger, the dog will also enter a state of alert. Once the opponent is found to be hostile, the dog may attack the opponent.
So when parents see you, they are very happy, and the dog will greet you happily. When you enter the door, the dog will not be too aggressive towards you. When it smells familiar to you, it will come over and show you the same as before! Will your dog remember you after you have been away for a while?
