Anyone who has had a dog can tell you this.

But if they're like my dog they don't care and won't do anything about it.
My husky doesn't care. My chihuahua will come over and lay on my chest exactly like dogs trained to comfort people with anxiety and such do; and I did not train him to do that.
My husky seems aloof too, but he does show his care in very small and reserved ways. It ends up really touching.
Last night we had a really spooky encounter with a guy. Dude seemed distressed, I checked in on him, and while it was pleasant at first it devolved. Once we got home I was really rattled, and Teeko who normally goes out to sleep on the balcony, stayed next to my bed all night.
My cat was on my chest when I was injured for 3 months.
Dogs can also tell if you're cooking chicken.
Cats can too, but it’s cat-dependent as to whether they give two shits.
Mine know when I'm pissed they stole an entire loaf of bread off the counter...
My one dog has never shown any indication of recognizing sadness. For another one...questionable.
Scared they get right away.
Again the old paradigm of domestication. That is so wrong!
Humans and dogs developed an evolved a symbiotic relationship over something like 30.000 years. That said, we developed a leader-follower relationship.
Also, dogs don't descend from modern wolves, but rather evolved along with modern wolves. Both descent ants of an extinct primitive wolf.
