8 Animals That Can Understand Human Emotions

Dogs

A man’s best friend, dogs are known for their ability to detect human emotions. They can sense when their humans are sad, happy, or stressed and even adjust their behaviour accordingly.

Cats

While cats have an image that they are distant and aloof, they too can sense and understand human emotions.

Horse

One of the most fit and agile animals, a horse too can sense and understand human emotions. They can pick up on the emotional states of the people around them and respond to the energy of their handlers.

Elephants

They can see, sense, and feel emotions just like humans and will respond to signs of stress or happiness.

​Dolphins

Dolphins in captivity have been observed reacting to their trainers' emotional states, offering playful interactions or gentle nudges when sensing sadness.

Parrots

Parrots are one of the most cheerful and interactive birds. Plus, they are not just very talkative, they are also experts in sensing emotions.

Chimpanzees

Chimpanzees, the closest animal relatives of humans, have the ability to understand human emotions fairly well.

Pigs

Pis are usually not paid attention owing to their love for the dirt. They are simply regarded as dirty animals of very little use.
