夏说英语新闻晨读 第478期:如何与狗交朋友

 本期内容：

Using "dog-speak" is important in building a bond¹ between a dog and their owner, scientists from the University of York have found. During a series of tests, dogs were spoken to in a high-pitched voice and again in a normal adult voice. Researchers then monitored which speaker the dogs responded to and wanted to interact² with. PhD student Alex Benjamin said it seemed dogs were more likely to favour the speaker who used a high pitch.
