I didn't need a study to tell me that my dog could read my emotions or that they had emotions; but finally scientific research is confirming what I've known for years - yes, my dog can read me and they do have emotions!

• Study Says Dogs Read Human Emotions on Faces - Dogs have developed face reading skills to sense a person's mood.
• Dogs Can Be Jealous, Say Scientists - Dogs are prone to complex emotions as jealousy and pride, according to scientific research that sheds new light on their relationship with humans.
• The Ethical Dog - Looking for the roots of human morality in the animal kingdom?  Focus on canines, who know how to play fair.
  
• Babies reading emotions of dogs better than adults - Researchers say new psychological study shows babies can read the emotions of dogs very well, maybe better than you can.
• Wikipedia - Dog Intelligence and Behavior - Dogs demonstrate sophisticated social cognition by associating behavioral cues with abstract meanings.

The FIDO site is chock full of great information on upcoming events; open space, mountain park links and other Boulder dog links; along with a history of the organization.  There are also quick links to Dog Parks and Open Space in Boulder County where you and your dog(s) can play off leash!  To get your Voice & Sight Tag, read through the information, watch the video and register!
