Do You Talk To Your Pets?

This thread reminds me of this study I read about a while ago: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/nature...our-voice/

Have any of you read it? Apparently dogs' brains respond to human voices in a very similar way to how humans respond to each others' voices. This is what makes them so responsive to our voices and so good at being able to detect our emotions from our tone of voice. It's one of the ways they've evolved to live with humans. Isn't that cool? It sounds like it's not so crazy to talk to your pets after all!
