Scientists think dogs could one day be matched with owners based on the research.
Dogs who have stressed owners are more likely to be stressed too, according to scientists. Swedish researchers looked at the levels of a stress hormone in 58 dogs and their owners to arrive at their conclusion.collected the hair of 33 Shetland sheepdogs, 25 border collies, and their masters in the summer and winter. They then measured levels oflevels in the body, when compared to something like blood or saliva, the authors argued.
They wrote that neurotic humans form a strong attachment bond to their dogs, and give and receive more support from the dog than others."This, in turn, may lead to a positive modulation of the stress response for both parties," the authors said. Roth said she was surprised to find there were few associations between a dog's own personality and its long-term stress level, while an owner's personality appeared to have a strong effects on their pet's stress level.
However, Roth emphasized the study only shows a correlation, and further research is needed to work out the exact mechanisms at play.
