Dogs are the only non-primate species known to look at human faces from the right to the left.
It now turns out dogs can also read human facial expressions and can tell when humans are happy or when they're angry.
The new study has revealed just how much truth there is to the expression the dog is "man's best friend."

Dogs got eyebrows they can manipulate.

U.K. taxpayers paid to figure this out.
For a change, stupidity wasn’t funded by us.

We needed a study to figure this out? They read our eyes for sure. I know my dog does. I can make her think about food if I raise my eyebrows. On second thought, she’s ALWAYS thinking about food. LOL

So, they needed a taxpayer study to establish something that everyojne who’s ever owned a dog figured out almost immediately?

My dog, A German Shepherd, knows every, single thing. She keeps track of every detail, no matter how small.
She understands just about every word spoken to her, and she speaks back.
She is smarter than me by a lot, I am ashamed to admit.

If you want proof that dog is “man’s best friend”, lock your dog and your wife in the trunk of your car, and see which one is happy to see you, when you open it.

They used taxpayer funds to do this? This is basic common sense. My wife said she is sometimes ‘creeped out’ about how human our Emma, a Standard Poodle, is with her interactions.

Dogs certainly read our expressions and they understand words. One of my JRTs knows when I say “bath” and she disappears. I have heard that dogs are color blind but I don't think they are. I have a yellow apron I put on before I bathe the dogs and they all avoid me when I am wearing it.

My lab can read my mind, so I took her to the vet and had her tested.
He said she reads at the sixth grade level. (thank you very much!)
