Bill Murray has a curious way of knowing whether he can trust someone: he always listens to dogs' opinions

Bill Murray said it with that blend of humor and philosophy that characterizes him: 'I distrust people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person'. Isle of Dogs It's not just an eccentric actor's joke. It's an idea that many animal lovers know well: dogs perceive something we don't see at first glance. They read body language, tone of voice, and the energy someone gives off, long before that person says a single false word. Isle of Dogs That's why Murray's phrase resonates so much. It turns human judgment on its head and places it in the hands of someone who, according to him, never lies: a dog wagging its tail or quietly growling at a stranger. Perhaps the next time your pet doesn't approach someone, it would be worth paying attention.
