not in the literal sense. dogs most certainly pick up clues through their senses, whether it is sight (your hesitation), sound (they can hear a hearbeat from five feet away), or smell (your sweat-humans give off a stress hormone) allowing them to perceive your fear. http://zebra.sc.edu/smell/ann/myth5.html yes dogs can smell fear and that is why if you are scared by a dog the dog will run after you. This is because they sense your fear and think that they need to run as well whether it be that it thinks you are the thing to be afraid of or it will search for something to be afraid of and sometimes can't defrentiate between you and what to be afraid of. Also say there was an intruder in your home the dog will not only sense the intruder but they also sense that you know it's an intruder so they will know what to do. I hope that answers your question. diffently!my friend has a dog(small dog) that bite me and now im so scared of it!so every time i come near it it bites me!
