Next time you look at your faithful family dog, thinking he is so much like you, your spouse or your children, you might want to think of the dogs in the wild. They are in a cohesive pack, following an Alpha, fighting for a living and never seeing or feeling the same love from a human family that your domesticated pup experiences.
Does that mean they are two different animals? No, not at all. But it does mean there are certain emotions a domesticated dog and a wild dog share. Just because they are living with two different family groups does not mean they don’t feel the same emotions.
What remains the same is our interpretation of these feelings. Is Fido feeling guilty over messing up on your beautiful, clean kitchen floor – or is it fear? And is that the same fear a wild dog might feel from a pack member or his surroundings?
Go on over to page two and check out this terrific article that may just make you rethink the emotions you see your pup display!

Dogs are amazingly emotional, and I’ve never had a problem figuring my pugs out. At times they had more feelings than people. They say dogs and owners grow to look alike, but I think they feel our love and respond the same.

I believe they are extremely emotionally evolved..many humans could learn loyalty & empathy from them.

Interesting. I was wondering why my Pug never seems to show guilt or fear. I guess he just doesn’t care if I get upset
