Dogs can sense what their owners are feeling, will go through hurdles to help them

Dogs truly are Man's Best Friend.

Most dog owners have a story to tell about how their pet understands them and their emotions. And now a new study has found that not only do dogs offer help and comfort to their owners, but they will even hurry to reach them.

Carried out by US researchers, the idea for the study came from co-author Julia Meyers-Manor, a former faculty member at Macalester College and now at Ripon College.
