I also think that dogs probably have real feelings and don’t just act the part like this creepy robot child, although I wonder how can one actually test this.
I mean, this depends on what you mean by “real feelings,” but as far as I can tell the physiological cause of emotions is basically shared by all mammals. (If anything, emotions likely play a larger part in the mental processing of non-human animals, because there’s less of other deliberative faculties to play against them.)
