Ah, the good old "we often attribute our dog’s actions to feelings they’re not really having."<p>There's zero credible research to support that statement. However, it has been repeated to such an extent, that it is now taken as a given.<p>We don't know what dogs feel.<p>Let me repeat that: We don't know what dogs feel. No one really has the slightest idea. Nope. Not the slightest clue.<p>So why does it get repeated so much, you may ask?<p>Religion. That's why.
