Dogs 'May Be Able To Read Their Owner's Minds'

Evidence that dogs may be able to read the mind of their owners comes today with a study that shows that dogs can "catch" human yawns. Scientists have known for decades that yawns are infectious among people, so much so that simply reading or thinking about them can trigger a chain reaction of gaping mouths in what they call "contagious yawning".Now the first ever study to report that human yawns induce yawning in dogs is published today in the journal Biology Letters by a team led by Dr Atsushi Senju of Birkbeck College, University of London.

It's a great show and you will see that dogs don't read our minds, they read our body language, just as they read the body language of other dogs.
true for my dog
Hand signals, a look, a smile, shh - he knows exactly what I am communicating. We are the same consciousness. It's actually kind of amazing. My first dog.
I hate dogs.

I'm only yawning cuz it's late. :p
If my dogs could read my mind they be better behaved. The Poodle might know what I'm thinking and is totally and completely defiant and my Ridgeback is too emotional to read minds.

I have no doubt on that one.
Hey some dogs can even sense when someone is going to have a seizure. I know my dogs know many things I'm thinking and feeling as I do them. But dogs and other animals are my thing. Wish I could do as well with people.People are more predatory than most animals.Dogs especially in most cases want to comfort or share in you fears and insecurities where people will use them against you.Love my animals and they love me :) My user name is one of my dogs name - the 123. Many dogs sneeze or yawn out of frustration even in play. My wolf hybred nibbles like you have fleas when he is jealeous or wants something like to go outside or a chew treat.

I saw a program where they were teaching dogs to sniff out cancer.
