I like to think they do, but they do not. All they have is their instincts.

I DOES make sense. But this is all part of their instincts, not true fellings like we have.

Dogs can't talk but they do have their own way to express their emotion..they are lovely.

Most definantly they do, they have feelings and emotions just like any other animals with a soul. Just because they cannot speak back to you, dosnt mean they are numb or just exist. If you know the dog you will be able to tell from body language and the way it acts.

-yes, dogs have emotions, my dog whoophie, when she was happy, she keeps on wagging her tail and licks my skin, if she is angry, she sounds gRRRR. GrrRRR. if she is depressed, she stays in one place, under the table or under the sofa and she will not come to you even you are calling her.... =)

Yeah, of course dogs have emotion. I think all living things have emotion. As long as they have heart beat and warm blooded. There was once i saw my friends dog tear when the dog know he is leaving home for few days...having school camp. I was quite touch when i saw that. I believe dog understand what is happening around him and understand what people are talking about.

Absolutely. You can tell when a dog is happy just by looking at him. Thinking that dogs don't have feelings is what leads to abuse.
