[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course it is. What a ridiculous question. It's no different than asking if other people can feel love the same way you can. Animals communicate their feelings and give signs, just like humans do. They can suffer and feel regret too. Anyone who has a dog who's gotten into the trash can attest to this.[/quote]

When I took biology in college, the professor insisted that dogs (maybe all animals? Can't remember what she said) ARE NOT capable of experiencing the feeling of love for their owners. She told us that when dogs show signs like wagging their tail or obedience or licking your face or any of the signs we interpret as "love" it's just because they have survival instincts. She went on & on insisting that dogs DO NOT love people and sorry to disappoint you blah blah blah. Everyone thought she was crazy.

My dog loves me. She almost died one time and when the vet brought her back to me after treating her and my dog saw how I was crying and a wreck, you could see it in her eyes like she was trying to tell me she was okay and everything was going to be alright. I will never forget that. She was just staring at me with a look I have never seen before.[/quote]
