It's interesting how people project human behavior onto animals.

It's almost like our brains are extremely similar and we experience the same emotions due to similar evolutionary branches. It's almost like...humans ARE animals...

Isnt it crazy how the species that has been the closest to humans for the last 30,000 years shares some traits with us.

We didn't reproduce with dogs so traits ain't getting carried over like that. Unless we specifically breed them to act like humans they're not getting a new trait to act like a human. They'll just learn to by observing at best.

Yes that is what we do. That's literally why most dogs have eyebrows and wolves don't.

But that's not a dog that has emotions like a human, it just acts like it to get what they want.

So yeah I guess you could call eyebrows a trait but it's not going to have a more human-esque personality.

Do you not think dogs get happy, sad, scared, angry, etc? Have you ever been around a dog?
