"Dogs, more so than almost any other domesticated species, are desperate
for human eye contact. When raised around people, they begin fighting
for our attention when they’re as young as four weeks old. It’s hard for
most people to resist a petulant flash of puppy-dog eyes—and according
to a new study, that pull on the heartstrings might be exactly why dogs
can give us those looks at all."
