They say a dog is a man's best friend but Italian researchers suggest dogs bond with each other quite well too.

Scientists writing in the Royal Society Open Science journal suggest dogs copy each other's expressions, just like people do, showing basic signs of empathy.

Here are some pictures of your canine copycats.
