The Independent and Sydney Morning Herald framed the study as confirming what dog owners already suspected: that dogs can distinguish between smiles and negative expressions. The Independent quoted study author Raúl Hernández-Pérez, who said dogs are \"very interesting\" for their ability to pick up small facial details, and senior author Laura Cuaya, who noted that happy faces may have \"emotional significance\" for dogs.","The left-rated digests highlighted the evolutionary aspect of the findings. The Irish Times and The Age described the study as the first evidence that dogs can tell apart specific human emotions, not just categorise them as positive or negative. The Sydney Morning Herald, Brisbane Times and The Age carried identical digests advising readers to \"smile at every dog you see on the street.\""],"centre":["The eight centre-rated digests and one full report focused on the scientific methodology and the specific brain regions involved. WTVB’s full report led with the finding that the study provided the \"first ever evidence\" of dogs distinguishing human emotions, quoting the university’s press release. It named the temporal cortex and caudate nucleus as the regions activated by happy faces and noted that anger, fear and sadness did not trigger those areas.","The centre-rated digests, including those from The Globe & Mail and mannheim24.de, repeated the activation of brain regions linked to \"higher cognitive functions and reward processing.\" None of the centre-rated digests mentioned the evolutionary or emotional implications of the findings, or the researchers’ caution about dogs from non-loving environments."],"right":["The six right-rated digests led on the study’s novelty as a scientific breakthrough. GB News described it as a \"landmark study\" and the \"first neural evidence\" that dogs can differentiate between specific negative emotions. Clarin and Yonhap News Agency both highlighted the finding that dogs distinguish fear from sadness, with Clarin noting that dogs also rely on body language, voice and scent in real life.","None of the right-rated digests mentioned the activation of the temporal cortex or caudate nucleus by happy faces, or the researchers’ caution about the dogs’ backgrounds.
