Dogs can "catch" yawns from humans, the Daily Mail reported.

A study found that nearly half of all dogs yawned when played a recording of a human being making such a noise.

But when the yawn played belonged to their owners, the canines were five times more likely than if the voice belonged to a stranger.

狗打呵欠因被主人传染

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,狗能够被人“传染”打呵欠。

       研究称,近一半的狗在播放人类打呵欠录音时,也会被传染打呵欠。

       但是,狗被主人传染打呵欠的几率是狗被陌生人传染打呵欠的几率的5倍。
