Can YOU tell what this dog is thinking? Take the test - as study reveals humans are terrible at reading canine emotions

If you have a dog, you might think you have a strong connection with them. But according to a new study, you've probably been reading your pet's emotions all wrong. Although humans and dogs have a unique bond, scientists from Arizona State University say that we are terrible at understanding canine emotions. Participants were shown videos of a dog reacting to positive situations, such as seeing their lead, or negative situations such as being presented with the dreaded vacuum cleaner. Instead of actually trying to understand what the dog is feeling, the researchers found that people tend to'project human emotions onto their pets'.
