1 in 5 women tell darkest secrets to their dogs: UK study

London, Aug 12 (ANI): Move over gal pals, now dogs take the place of best friends that women reveal their darkest secrets to, says a UK survey.

According to The Daily Express, Winalot, a dog food company, found that one in five women share secrets with dogs, the kind that they wouldn't share with anyone else.

14 per cent even believed their dog could read their mind.

Men, on the other hand, score only 10 percent.
