While it is well known that animals DO have emotional ability and are quite capable of understanding,
I was talking to my dog this morning and he said, "you know, I'm sort of embarassed that you watch me poop all the time. Please have some consideration for my feelings and turn away or bring a paper to read."
I replied, "don't talk to me about feelings and embarassment. Why is it that when we have guests over, you wander into the room and then casually sit down and start licking your, well anything you can reach?"
"OK," he said, "You have a point. Why don't you just make believe that I'm just a dumb mammal with no capacity for the higher feelings like embarassment or empathy. And, of course, I'll do the same for you."
