I also think that animals can feel your emotions, especially dogs. My uncle used to have a golden retriever and there is a very interesting story I have about it. My dad had alot of medical problems. He had arrythmias and had to go to a surgery for a pacemaker to be inserted. He was fine a few weeks later and went fishing with a few friends to a lake for a few days. At the lake he developed high fever, slept alot and at the end started rambling and taling things that didnt make sense. He was taken to a emergency unit and put on life support. He had multi-organ dysfunction and the doctors told us he was probably going to die. (he was on respirators and it was really hard to watch). Needless to say the whole family felt very sad and bad. It lasted for a few eeks before he got better. In that time my uncles all came together to play a game of cards and my cousin came to play instead of my father. The uncles dog (Snoopy was the name) came to the table and started growling at my cousin and didnt allow him to sit on my dads chair. He just was on the ground letting out sad noises.It shows how these animals have a soul and emotions, it makes me sad just thinking about Snoopy. Dogs really are a mans best friend.
