This is not news to me, but a new study reveals that 20% of women confide their deep, dark secrets to their dogs, not their friends or husbands. The same study found that 14% of women feel that their dogs can read their minds. I know all of Linda's secrets and can tell when she is scared, sad or needs a kiss. The same goes for me. She always knows when I don't feel well, if I'm hungry or need to go outside. We have a connection, for sure. This day, Linda could tell I was feeling a little embarrassed about my new hair cut and was hesitant to go out for a walk.
