You may wonder, "Do Dogs Have Emotions?"

Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a young child and I can’t imagine living without one in my home. Right now I have three.

I have seen my dogs in all kinds of situations displaying many types of emotions such as anger, jealousy, guilt, joy, fear, and sadness. They can also be possessive and protective, playful, and curious.

Do dogs have emotions?

My main dog Marlo has been very empathetic towards me when I have been sad and crying especially when my partner Wally died, my dogs mourned him and missed him just as I did.

When my dogs are upset, it is usually with me or with each other especially when one of the other dogs has taken one of their toys. Even though toys cause the biggest problem, they forget quickly and within moments can be very happy playing with each other.

When Beau-Baggins, a male, my recent rescue dog arrived nine months ago, my two female Aussies were not happy. The first few months were bedlam. There was so much jealousy and jockeying for position, I had to keep Beau in the crate most of the time

Do dogs have emotions? Both Marlo and Bandit were extremely jealous and protective of me when Beau was present. They did not want to share my affection with him. Marlo my oldest female, always comes between myself and Beau. She watches him like a hawk. It has taken her a good six months to get accustomed to him, and now she’ll let him lie beside her on the rug. Some emotions are constant such as jealousy, even though Marlo and Bandit have been together for nine years, Marlo is still jealous of Bandit.

Marlo is the one I always put in charge and she’s been busy teaching him the rules in the house. But, there have been some stand-offs regarding the toys which at this point Beau has taken over. Once in awhile, Marlo will show her senior position by keeping one of the toys beside her. Toys always cause the biggest commotion.

Do dogs have emotions?

It is important to realize that they do have emotions and that they bond with their masters and know through vibrations and energy how their master is feeling.

We can learn many things from our pets, especially unconditional love from our dogs. No matter what you do to them, or how you are feeling, they always love you. Dogs live in the moment – another good thing we can learn from them.
