A recent study from ELTE University's Department of Ethology has found that dogs are capable of understanding human commands based solely on tone modulation, rather than specific words.

This research suggests that the bond between humans and dogs involves a form of communication that could be older than spoken language.

The findings highlight the complexity of human-animal interactions and raise interesting questions about the nature of communication across species.
