You may have noticed that your dog can be particularly snuggly when you’re feeling blue, or have an extra pep in its step when you’re happy. It may seem as if your pet can read your emotions -- and according to new research, it probably can.

Dogs combine information they see and hear in order to gauge emotions in humans and other dogs, according to a study published this week in the journal Biology Letters. Scientists previously believed only humans had the ability to understand emotions in this complex way.

Researchers from the University of Lincoln in the U.K. and the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil showed 17 dogs images of human and canine faces while playing audio of voices and barking. They presented each dog with visuals and sounds that were both positive (happy and playful), both negative (angry or aggressive), and with positive-negative sight-sound combinations. When the audio and visual were both positive or both negative -- regardless of whether they were from a fellow canine or a human -- researchers found that the dogs ρáíd attention for a longer amount of time.
