What really prompts the dog's 'guilty look' | Eureka! Science News

What really prompts the dog's 'guilty look' Eureka! Science News: "Dogs looked most 'guilty' if they were admonished by their owners for eating the treat. In fact, dogs that had been obedient and had not eaten the treat, but were scolded by their (misinformed) owners, looked more 'guilty' than those that had, in fact, eaten the treat. Thus the dog's guilty look is a response to the owner's behavior, and not necessarily indicative of any appreciation of its own misdeeds."
