From a scientific point of view, dogs lack human qualities and feelings. This applies to domestic cats, as experts constantly remind us when they call for not humanizing the habits of animals.
But life has plenty of examples of dogs displaying such qualities that science cannot withstand.
Vladimir Golubev, head of the Russian Cynological Federation, told the publication Veterinary Science and Life whether a dog can love.
According to the specialist, it is still necessary to highlight certain habits and behavior of the pet.
Everyone knows that a dog is capable of sacrificing itself to save the life of its owner.
It is also well known how a dog's affection for its owner manifests itself.
But even between dogs there are feelings that can be called a real love affair.
Evidence of this is a case that was described in one of the Japanese newspapers in 1991.
It turned out that after one fisherman was forced to change his place of residence, his dog soon began to disappear somewhere for days at a time.
When the man decided to follow the animal, it turned out that the dog was returning to its old place of residence, a neighboring island located 4 kilometers away.
It also turned out that he did this in order to see the neighbor's dog, which he had known for about 3 years.
And so it went on every day. On the islands where the dogs lived, after their death, it was decided to erect monuments to the animals.
Earlier we talked about how to understand that your cat is bored at home .
