Researchers found that dogs pay more attention to consonants than vowels when listening to speech, utilizing these sounds to separate continuous auditory streams into distinct words. This method of word segmentation mirrors human processing and marks the first time such a capability has been documented outside of humans, even surpassing primates in this specific linguistic function. Scientists used non-invasive EEG monitors to record neural responses while canines listened to conti
