What a dog feels when it chews its owner's shoe: these emotions are far from remorse

Many people who are lucky enough to own a dog are sure that their pet's behavior is no different from that of a human.

Avid dog lovers believe that dogs are capable of feeling the full range of emotions.

However, researchers have managed to prove that feelings of guilt and shame are not typical for four-legged friends.

Therefore, if you catch a dog enthusiastically gnawing on your sneakers, its guilty look and tucked tail indicate only one thing – fear of punishment.

If you scold an animal for ruining your shoes, the guilty look changes to an offended one.

Often in such situations, the pet tries to quickly hide in another room - in fact, because of this, the person gets the feeling that the dog is offended.

And again a miss - complex feelings are beyond the control of Tuziks and Rexes.

Your pet is still afraid and is unable to understand when the owner will stop being angry, so he makes every effort to stay away from the angry person.
