All these sort of “studies” that pretend to understand animal emotion are absurd

We don’t understand human emotion all that well and yet we’re going claim we know how a particular animal feels? That’s ridiculous. Observing one’s behavior does not mean you understand one’s emotion. If that we’re the case we’d all understand women a lot better.

I fully understand that my dog takes advantage of us and is manipulative

Yeesh. Well if dogs are like that then cats must be worse

cats love you in the sense they are planning on eating you one day.

Yep. Once they are bigger than you, you = food

At least with cats, their disdain is evident. Stupid hypocritical dogs.

My cat likes me she only loves the person that feeds her

Cats remind me of French people at times.

Pretty much like children.

There’s a lot of truth to that, but saying your dog doesn’t miss you is crazy

All manipulation. The dog is just waiting for you to come home and make you

Wow. They think ahead too?

TNT

They do. Even can make orders on Amazon and use Instagram. They are fiendish

Saying a pet "loves you" is an anthropomorphism

It is arrogant to say that animals are incapable of experiencing complex emotion

Hotlanta

They definitely express emotions like happiness, sadness, anxiety, etc.

So a guy named Katz has negative opinions about dogs?

I love my dogs whether they love me or not.

Then the feeling is mutual 😉

That strangely reminds me of my favorite Loveline call ever.

No earthly relationship doesn't have some strings attached. We are no different.

Bogus report … 87.678% of all data is simply made up

Crazy. When I came home from my mission, my dog went nuts. I guess she never had

My dog will love your leg long time.

Thrill

If you can't be with the leg you love, love the leg you're with.

This person’s significant other cheated on him right before the study started.

5/18/22 6:38pm

I don't believe that. Dogs behave differently around different people.

5/19/22 7:24am

I knew it. My dog has always had this look in his eye that made me think
