Who says dogs dont lie?...we once had a cocker spaniel...one time my mom was going to visit a sick friend...so she prepared the evening meal for us, and left it for us to heat up when we felt like eating...she told me to feed the dog his dinner before we had our dinner...so I fed the dog, had my own dinner, and then went out for the rest of the evening...

Apparently my dad, coming home later from work, saw the note, and heated up his dinner, and then looked at the dog, who seemed to be saying with his sad cocker spaniel eyes "feed me"...so my dad proceeded to give him another can of food...

Then dad went to his study/workroom/hideout in the attic...then mom came home, took one look at the dog, who again had that sad, cocker spaniel look in his eyes, which said "feed me"...so mom gave him a can of food...

Later, that evening, when all 3 of us were together, discussing our day, we each in our turn, mentioned how we had fed the dog his dinner...we were aghast...we had each, in our turn, given the dog a can of dog food...he had three cans of dog food for dinner that nite...Hah, my dad hollered, that dog lied to me...

Of course, the dog, oblivious to the information exchanged between the humans, was up on the couch, sound asleep, belly full of food...

So you can see, dogs can and do lie...

Funny thing is, while I prefer dogs to cats. cat's don't really lie. We have an ancient grouchy female cat; the main thing she has left is Attitude. She never leaves you in any doubt at all about how she feels (and whatever it is, she usually doesn't like it; she hisses at the weather).

Lying is something social animals do.
