You can look at your dog and see that it's thinking and has strong feelings. And if it does, so do wolves. And if wolves do, so do elephants. People aren't the only beings that think and feel.

Dogs do have feelings, I gather.

When a man tries to communicate with an animal, there's a relationship between them, and you generally find this between the dog and his master.

We have a couple of dogs, but I wouldn't describe myself as an animal person.

There is little evidence that other animals judge the appropriateness of actions that do not directly affect themselves.

A dog is like a liberal. He wants to please everybody. A cat really doesn't need to know that everybody loves him.

These days, many people are unwilling to see their dog as an animal. Let's face it: they are cute, but they will bite. Not only do I look at dogs as animals, I look at myself as an animal, which explains why, since I got my permit, I drive with my head out the window.

The thing about animals is that they don't judge you. They accept you the way you are.

Anyone who has a dog knows that they have some very deep thoughts, that they have moods and emotions, they get their feelings hurt. It's not a far reach to give them opinions and values and long-term desires.

Man as a pure animal does not exist.
