Can dogs cry: we tell you
Any dog owner can confidently answer the question of what emotion their pet is currently experiencing.
For example, if a dog turns away, then most likely he is offended by something, and if the pet is spinning, actively wagging its tail and barking loudly, then he is probably happy to see his loved one.
Yes, yes, dogs have many “means” for expressing their feelings, and sometimes you can see real tears in their eyes.
However, does this mean that the animal is now very upset?
The answer is no: tears in dogs are not connected with their internal experiences. They have another function, which is to moisten the cornea and cleanse the eyes.
Therefore, when it seems to you that your dog is crying, most likely the tears were caused by some pathological reason.
For example, lacrimation could be caused by a foreign object getting into the eye, an injury, an allergy, etc.
Normally, discharge from the dog's eyes is scanty, transparent, and accumulates in the corners of the animal's eyes. Do not forget to remove it every few days using a napkin and lotion specially created for this purpose.
