Study Suggests Puppies Love Baby Talk, Oh Yes They Do

First, they gave people photos of puppies, adult dogs, and visibly old dogs, and recorded them looking at each picture and reciting the words, “Hi! Hello cutie! Who’s a good boy? Come here! Good boy! Yes! Come here sweetie pie! What a good boy!” Researchers also had the test subjects recite the phrases while looking at photos of adult humans, as a control measure.
