I agree whole heartedly. Outside of my wife, my dogs are my best friends.

I’ve read of similar experiments before. One that comes to mind was that they had a group of dogs. They gave treats to all the dogs but one. Eventually, the other dogs stopped taking the treats, or would give them to the one being excluded. I think we make a mistake in thinking that animals don’t ‘reason’. Having been a dog and cat owner most of my life, I’m quite convinced they do. It is different from us, but the ability is there nonetheless. I saw a vid on youtube a few months ago that was an excellent example. A dog was on a dock, and a bunch of fish had been taken out of a well. The dog was doing its best to slash water up on the fish, which were gasping for air, like it knew that was what they needed. It was almost pitiful, seeing how distressed the dog was getting because it wasn’t able to help as much as it wanted.

Yeah. But you know they do

I know, I know.... but sometimes things don’t work out in an ideal way. I’m glad you have your pups. Give them an extra pat on the head for me.

Yes your right.
