So what do you think........are dogs capable of love? Are they capable of emotions or do we have a tendency to place our human emotions on them? Do they have feelings or do they do things out of instinct? I'll be writing an article about this subject once I've gathered all of the information that I need. So tell me, does your dog love you unconditionally, just the way you are????????.....or is it instinct and he's happy to see you just because you got a dog biscuit in your pocket? Is he crazy in love with his kennel mate one day and if you bring him a new "pretty young thang" the next he forgets all about girl number one? Emotions or instinct? Come share your stories...........should prove interesting reading and then I'll follow up on a report afterwards from some research that I've been doing. Best, Barbara -- Barbara J.
