RE: --- Angry German Shepherd Just Needed Love ---

Thanks for sharing your experiment. I think it would work on the giant Newfoundland who keeps trying to jump the fence when we go past him. And maybe to some angry people we meet in life as well.

This the best post I've read today!

thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my article @organduo, i think that showing empathy, compassion and understanding to any sentient being will result in an improvement in the relationship. Even the acknowledgment that they are not merely an object or possession who is owned by someone is breaking through the dimensions us hoomans have built around animals.

Yes the psychological construct is applicable to hoomans as well.... but it can be far more difficult to do as we are more complex beings socially, essentially "we lie" A LOT. so it can be hard to get to the core of the issues when it come to the conflicts between mankind, be it enemies, friends, family , lovers....

Thanks for getting back to me! Do you think that dogs also lie like humans?

hey @organduo , i think they may be able to be trained to do a lot of things, but i do believe that they would not be able to lie, i don't think they have a need for it in their existence, most of their communication is done via body language, check it

You're right, this video makes it obvious they would be lousy CIA agents...😁

Yeah but they still work with the federales to catch people with drugs on em, lolz

naw, poor puppies, lolz. but if we delve into the matter some more there is usually a reason that animals act out in various ways, we could probably find the core issues of these actions with some investigation. then we could apply some interventions :)
