S Pesso while my wife and I are at the table. our dog Samantha (Sam to his friends) jumps on an empty chair, sits down with a certain elegance and looks into his eyes fixed.
I have no doubt that his only intention is to monitor the dishes on the table in the hope of remedying some good, tasty stuff that humans eat, you know, not the usual dry food.
Yet there are times when, having sat in front of me, I see those eyes staring at me without end intense and I wonder what he's thinking.
But the dogs think? And if people think, the really important question is to what they think ?
Concerns have none and every day is a new beginning, a new period of time that they should live based on instinct, and the memories accumulated with the help of hearing, smell and sight, but that in substance , is a new round of tournament events marked only by food and physiological needs.
Like all animals, the dog is a machine programmed to survive. His needs are basic and there is no hesitation or doubt. But sometimes I feel Sam issue of deep sighs and, in my determination to humanize it at any cost, I imagine hopeless, anxious about its future.
Sometimes Sam dreams. Suddenly, in the midst of a deep sleep, he begins to fidget, kicking. Then he relaxes and goes back to sleep.
What dogs dream? I mean, what a dream of the inexhaustible sources of stuff to eat?
What can create their nightmares? It will be the thought of opening your eyes and not be further heated in a house full of places to stay? The thought of having suddenly the bosses tougher than us? The memory of a huge dog scared them murderess?
I just read that people with higher IQs dream more than others. I could infer that Sam is a very intelligent dog (more than me for sure, because very little dream).
Or it does not apply to dogs? Would seem to me a coward. Like the story that we have soul and they do not.
But we are moving away from the initial question: but then, the dogs think?
How can you find out? I do not know if the ministers think (judging from the facts it seems in fact that did not succeed), imagine if I can demonstrate that dogs are capable of it.
would be a good shot though and I think that Sam would love to be considered an intellectual.
