The US Department of Transportation (DOT) is cracking down on emotional support animals on airplanes. The agency announced that airlines are not required to recognize emotional support animals as service animals. The new rule states that airlines may treat emotional support animals as pets and require them to be handled as such. Airlines asked the DOT to regulate the issue due to their concern that passengers were taking advantage of the system. Airlines claim that passengers fraudulently passed off their pets as emotional support animals to avoid paying fees. Emotional support animals provide comfort but unlike service animals, they are not required to have training in specific tasks. According to CNN, pigs, peacocks, and other animals have previously flown as emotional support animals.
Hungarian researchers want to reassure the human companions of dogs that they do care about you. However, they don't particularly care for your face. In fact, CNN reports dogs can't even distinguish the front of your head from the back of it. Instead, dogs use more information from smell or larger parts of the body to identify people. Despite lacking specialized neural machinery to process faces, dogs nevertheless excel at eye contact, following gaze, and reading emotions from faces. The researchers say that as dogs domesticated, they learned that reading facial cues meant survival, even though they lacked a specific region in the brain to do so.
