Yeah, but if I'm not mistaken dogs can read human feeling.
If that goes all the way to empathy (which a lot of dog owners would say it does), people around him being unhappy is probably not good for the dog.
(Mind you, the reason I personally like dogs is because it definitelly works the other way around, and making a dog happy - and hence getting a pleasanty feeling from it through empathy - is usually pretty easy)
