This beautiful German Shepherd looks stunned. I wonder what she’s thinking…

Can You Read Your Dog’s Facial Expression
Study shows that our canine friends can display their emotions through facial expressions, particularly using their ears and eyebrows. The research, which is published in the journal Behavioural Processes, used 12 dogs and placed them in a room divided by a partition. The dogs were given a brief glimpse of different persons/objects on the other side, and their response were recorded.
The experiment found that dogs tend to move their eyebrows upwards whenever they see someone, but far more when they see their owner, particularly on the left side. These findings come after a previous research showing that most owners are able to detect the emotions of their pets through their dog’s facial expressions. It has also been concluded in the research that our furry buddies are adept at both reading our facial expressions and reacting to them.
