| answered a question | Why does my dog seem sad? Although dogs do not have the complexity of thought, they do have emotions. Dogs can be depressed just as humans can. Dogs can become sad when they miss a loved one, or when they are scolded. If your dog loses interest long term in eating, playing, or going for walks, you should look into this with your vet. Dogs who are ill can appear sad as well. |

| commented question | Why does my dog bark at me? dogs bark to communicate a need, ( food, outside) a fear ( strangers, sounds) a warning, or simply a message. Your dog can have multiple barks meaning different things. Pay attention to the tone, energy and body language with each bark. You will see patterns and be able to respond appropriately |
