    I am loving reading all these responses :smile: Pets can sense and respond to emotions just by their actions.
    I had seen an episode on Oprah, where a guy had lot his wife and two dogs to Carbon Monoxide poisoning. It was one of the most sad episodes i have seen. The dogs ran out to vomit, but returned to the wife and stayed below her bed to safeguard her and died :cry:

    Sure they do. Read this:

    They have a level of intelligence and sensitivity we don't really appreciate.
    I once hit a flying bird with my car. The bird fluttered to the ground, and laid there flapping its wings frantically. It's mate turned around and flew down to it and stood there with it. That mate would not leave. It stands to reason that if animals have feelings with each other they can pick them up in us.

    When I was about 10, I was crying in my room for some stupid reason (probably got in trouble for something). My cat, Dinah jumped next to me on the bed and just stared at me, then pawed at my leg. Animals are the best companions.

    gah I just read something about them having the emotional equivalent of a 2 year old...I wish I could find it

    Not sure if this was it, but it was something similar...

    Absolutely they do!

    Have a couple of chihuahuas that hop on my bed and snuggle up next to me until the day I'm feeling better.
    They detect when I'm down in the dumps & won't leave my side. One will let out a little whimper and rest his head on my arm.
    When there's excitement in the air they're definitely excited as well & will run around chasing one another, play wrestling, jump on the furniture. haha
    Silly beasts :smile:

    yes definately they can also sense pregnancy and illnesses.

    there was a little boy in the uk recently on the news with his dog that knows when he is about to have an epileptic seizure before it happens and a woman that had cancer and didnt know it but her dog constantly cried and nuzzled at the part of her body they found the cancer for weeks before she was diagnosed.

    I was wondering why he had his hand up his shorts. I thought he was being naughty til I clicked on it.... just trying to show the inner thighs that could probably crush a walnut.
