Dogs' hearts beat in sync with their owners says study

Dogs' hearts beat in sync with their owners says latest study to show having a pet is good for keeping healthy

  • Australian researchers separated dogs from their owners for new study
  • They then reunited them and monitored their heart rates for patterns
  • Both dog and human heart rates fell, and then began to mirror each other
  • Researchers were stunned by how much two heart beats came together
The bond between man and dog is so strong that their hearts beat in sync, a study has found.
Australian researchers separated three dogs from their owners, strapped heart monitors on the people and animals and then watched what happened when they were reunited.
Doggy and human heart rates quickly fell – and then began to mirror each other.
Charts showed that despite beating at different rates, they followed the same pattern, with each dog’s heart rising and falling in tandem with its master’s.
