Not only do pups notice growing baby bumps, but some experts believe dogs can pick up on a change in scent coming from expectant mothers.
M. Leanne Lilly, an assistant professor at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, said that while it "makes sense" for dogs to be able to pick up on subtle changes in their owners, they probably can't tell whether someone is pregnant.And though some dogs' reactions to the fluctuation during someone's pregnancy might be to curl up with their owners, others may respond in opposite ways.
"While some dogs get more snuggly with the change in smell, some seem to get more worried," Lilly told. "There are also certainly pets who don't seem to change—that the clients are aware of—or those who are even more standoffish. But the stories about a dog getting 'snugglier' are cuter and tend to stick with us."Some experts even claim dogs can predict when a woman will go into labor.
