What’s Rover Watching?
Imagine your dog got its paws on the remote. What would it watch? A new study may have the answer.
Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison set out to find the best way to test dogs’ eyesight. They thought videos might hold pups’ attention long enough to check their vision.
The researchers surveyed more than 1,200 dog owners. They were asked about the types of shows their four-legged friends liked most.
It turns out that pooches like watching animals—especially dogs! They also like nature shows. But pups are much less interested in seeing humans on screens.
¿Qué mira Rover?
Imagina que tu perro le echara la garra al control remoto del televisor. ¿Qué miraría? Un estudio podría tener la respuesta. Científicos de la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison se propusieron encontrar la mejor forma de examinar la vista de los perros.
Pensaron que los videos podrían captar la atención de los perritos el tiempo suficiente para revisar su visión.
Los investigadores encuestaron a más de 1,200 dueños de perros. Les preguntaron qué tipo de programas les gustaban más a sus amigos de cuatro patas.
Resulta que a los perros les gusta ver animales, sobre todo perros. También les gustan los programas de naturaleza. Pero los perritos no están tan interesados en ver seres humanos en las pantallas.
