Yes, Your Dog Is Trying to Tell You Something and Scientists Have Finally Translated What Their Gestures Mean A new study published in the science journal Animal Cognition on April 30 reports that researchers from the University of Salford in Manchester, U.K., have been working on the translation of dog gestures and behaviors for a while now — and they finally have some interesting and educational (and adorable!) findings to share. The journal states that the Salford researchers “observed 37 pet dogs in their own homes … owners recorded 242 videos” containing evidence of a number of “referential gestures performed by domestic dogs during everyday communicative bouts with humans,” which conform to signals indicative of cross-species communication. The animal scientists were able to identify at least 47 different potential gestures (roll over, hind leg stand, paw up, etc.) that they believe canines use when trying to communicate with humans. Amazingly, they’ve also discovered the meanings behind or “translated” 19 of these specific behaviors. More at southernliving.com
