[QUOTE="MrSpectrum, post: 1901540, member: 105703"] I did say we all do it (myself included), and that I think it's natural (albeit [i]sometimes [/i]misplaced). I think "harm" in this sense is subjective. The problem is usually misinterpreting what's really going on with pets, or between pet and human. :wink: For example, an owner leaves a dog home alone, and the dog freaks out, doing damage to furnishings, doors, possibly having an "accident" (peeing or defecating), etc. It's not uncommon (in fact it's [i]common[/i]) for an owner to then complain to their vet, "He only does this out of spite/because he's mad at me. Sometimes it's not a vet that hears the complaint, but a volunteer at the humane society where the owner wants to surrender the dog. (Or their YT audience :roll: ) This is a classic case of separation anxiety. Dogs just don't think that way; they can get mad, but they don't feel spite, or "get back at" their alphas/owners for hurt feelings or wrongs--those are [i][b]human [/b][/i]things. All the dog knows is that its person/alpha left him. He didn't understand, got scared, and out of frustration, acted out. Likewise, written words don't always convey thoughts & feelings the way they're intended! :) Yes, I [i]have [/i]talked about pets studying their humans for body language, cues, etc. and that we humans need to do the same with pets--regardless of species. Haven't you been paying attention? Pet owners [i][b]are [/b][/i]crazies, self included! :headbang: [/QUOTE]
