Didn't we already know this?

Most pet owners have tried to deceive their animals at some point in time. If you've tried to sneak out of the house without your dog knowing, tried to convince him that his medication is actually a yummy treat, or even played the "which hand is the cookie in?" game, you may have have noticed that your dog has an uncanny ability to know what you're up to. A new study published in Animal Behavior Processes has shown that dogs are particularly sensitive to human cues. Researchers used three separate experiments to test their theories, but I bet we pet owners could have told them!
