Scientists have found something interesting about dogs and people. Some dogs, like Labradors, always want to eat. Some people are like this too. The reason is in their genes.
Genes are like instructions in our bodies. One gene can make dogs and people feel hungry all the time. This makes it hard for them to stop eating. It's not because they are bad or lazy.
The scientists say this discovery is important. It helps us understand why some dogs and people gain weight easily. It's not just about what they eat or how much they exercise. Their bodies work differently because of their genes.
