RE: Do Animals Experience Shame and Guilt?
Animals like dogs feel guilt and shame like humans. We both are social creatures that form groups. Any animal that has social characteristics like humans will share the same traits. We are just the ultimate social being so our feelings are stronger and social interactions more complex but dogs for sure share our feelings on a lot of things. That's why we created dogs from wolves thousands of years ago. We share a lot with animals but knowledge of self is strictly human.
I agree that animals do share shame like humans although some people disagree. Thanks for stopping by.
