Why Your Dog Knows Your AC Is Broken Before You Do

There is an old man in Hennessey who lives with a yellow lab named Gus. His wife passed in 2020. Same house since 1979. When I went out there for a no-heat call, the dog sat at his feet the whole time, and the man talked to me and talked to Gus in the exact same tone.When I finished the ticket, he said, Gus has gotten me through. That sentence landed. Most people who do not own dogs do not know what dogs actually do for the people who own them. In 2015 Miho Nagasawa showed in the journal Science that when a person and a dog hold eye contact, both get an oxytocin boost, the same hormone that bonds a mother to an infant. It is not metaphor. It is the same machinery.This is me, on a service call near Kingfisher, talking about the quietest kind of company a person can keep, and why I notice it.Core line: "The dog was the other person in the conversation."Give Us A ShoutThanks for tuning in to Hartzell's Heat & Air, your trusted HVAC experts in Oklahoma and beyond.
