Why do we love animals? For their fidelity, loyalty, devotion, for protecting and defending their owner.

Is it possible that animals sense people who have psychopathic tendencies? It is estimated that psychopaths constitute as much as 2% to 3% of society. It is worth emphasising that the psychopathic type is more common in women than men.

It is a common belief that dogs have a "good nose" for bad people. If a psychopath's emotions are very intense, chemical changes occur in his body and brain. The dog will not only sense them, but also react to them.

Interestingly, the dog will not be fooled by the psychopath's tender words. She will recognise his true face and demonstrate it with her behavior.
