Emotions of Dogs – level 2

People thought that the expressions of dogs were involuntary. However, a new study shows otherwise.

Dogs produce more expressions when they know that people are watching them. This means that the expressions are a way of communication with humans.

The study was done on 24 dogs of different breeds by the University of Portsmouth in England.

Difficult words: expression (the way that your face looks), involuntary (reflexive, automatic), way (method, technique).
