Dogs know when you're having an affair - and use body language to tell the truth

Finding out your partner has been unfaithful to you is devastating - but most people would rather know the truth than live in the dark about it. While some people snoop through their partner's phone, check up on their whereabouts or even hire a private detective to get to the bottom of their suspicions, a dog behaviourist claims your pooch might already know the truth - and keeping an eye on their body language could tell you everything you want to know.

A YouGov poll conducted in 2015 revealed that as many as one in five Brits have had an affair and, dating site IllicitEncounters states a large number of its members use their dogs as an excuse to meet up with their lovers without raising suspicion. In a recent poll of more than 2,000 of its members, 60 per cent revealed dog walks had replaced more traditional affair rendezvous as daters cut back on costs, while a further 41 per cent confessed to meeting their lovers in their own home, instead of a hotel to save money.
