Once a dog enters your life, things will never be the same again. Those who’ve been subjected to their pooches’ antics know this to be true.

Get ready for your dog being in your face at all times of the day. Get used to being greeted by a deliriously happy pooch who has missed you loads although you’ve been gone for all of two minutes to throw out the trash.

And you might as well say goodbye to guilt-free meals at home – those sad eyes watching food transported from the plate into your mouth means you end up sharing precious morsels of your meal with them.

Yet, dogs are the most faithful, loyal, loving and protective beings around, making it no surprise that they’re considered man’s best friend.

But just how well do humans know their canine friends?

Two years after Netflix’s release of “Inside the Mind of a Cat,” its latest documentary, “Inside the Mind of a Dog” attempts to help dog owners better understand their fur-kids.

Narrated by Rob Lowe, the documentary is both informative and engaging, with various experts weighing in on this heart-warming subject matter.

For instance, did you know that a dog uses her tail to convey a variety of messages besides happiness?

Their sense of hearing is also far more superior than a human’s. Equipped with 18 ear muscles compared to a human’s six, it explains why they hear four times better than any human.

Let’s not even get started on their acute sense of smell. This piece of equipment makes them not only efficient hunters but invaluable assets to enforcement authorities whether as cadaver dogs who hunt for human remains, drug-sniffers or those who sniff out explosives.

But did you know that dogs can even smell a human’s mood? So, the next time you’re anxious or depressed, think about how you smell to your pooch – “eau de stress” is probably not a pleasurable scent to her.

The documentary also delves into the science of playing catch – for dogs, not you! This is an activity dogs love because of their inborn predatorial drive to chase. Clearly, the “hunt” thrills them whether it’s a bird or a ball.

There are numerous other fun facts revealed in the documentary – like their astounding ability to jump high into the air to catch a frisbee – but you’ll have to watch the documentary yourself to find out what the others are.

If you’re a dog lover, you’ll find “Inside the Mind of a Dog” to be a thoroughly interesting watch as it will help you understand how the anatomy of your dog makes her such an amazing, intuitive and intelligent animal.

If there is one grouse about this documentary, it would be the lack of real-life examples of humans who have found unique ways to understand their dogs and of dogs who use quirky tactics to communicate better with their humans.

But, if you’re having a bad day, this documentary could be just what you need to lift your spirits. And make you want to give your dog a big, warm hug right after.

‘Inside the Mind of a Dog’ is currently streaming on Netflix.
