Scientists prove you really can tell what your Dog is feeling by looking at its Face

Any dog owner will claim they can tell exactly what their pet is thinking just by looking at it. Now scientists have discovered that they may well be right.

Scientists believe humans have developed a natural empathy with dogs as we have evolved side-by-side for the past 100,000 years.

A study found people are able to identify a precise range of emotions in dogs from slight movements in their facial expressions.

Humans are naturally attuned to detecting how their pets are feeling and can correctly spot when the animals are happy, sad, angry, scared or even surprised and guilty, the experts say.
Volunteers were shown a range of different images of the same dog and they were able to detect the exact emotion of the animal
