This research comes from the Brudnick Center on Violence and Conflict at Northeastern University in Boston.

For the study, co-authors Jack Levin and Arnold Arluke set out to determine how empathy works in the human brain.

Professors Levin and Arluke gathered 240 men and women between the ages of 18 and 25 and asked them to read a series of fictional news stories about different subjects being beaten — a toddler, a 30-something adult, a puppy, and a 6-year-old dog.

    Oddly enough my dogs love humans more than other dogs. My 2 Pitts are more likely to snap and go after a stray dog wondering into our neighborhood than they are a human, especially if the kids are outside playing. We’re working on that.
