Of course! How else would Americans know how to eat, exercise, shop, wipe their ass, and other such trying daily tasks? Be thankful for higher education, government administrators, and others who make your life easier, you ingrate!

Not surprised, dogs like many social animals have emotions that probably help the species survive as a group. Curiously my dog doesn't seem to be jealous even of other dogs, I think she has some cat genes in her. She doesn't need a lot of attention and it is always on her terms, but she is always waiting for the member of the pack that isn't home, to return (meaning either my Wife or myself).

We have 4 dogs in the house presently,, (and 4 humans) in addition to birds and cats.

It is something that is more than obvious.

But is it instinctive or do they learn that from their humans? Inquiring minds want to know...

I think humans project too much on their animals and that animals will behave in ways that get them what they want.

Dogs get jealous; whereas cats plot their revenge.
