| Do Dogs Also Suffer Emotional Trauma? by ogbiwa(op): 7:40am On Jul 29, 2019 |
Hello guys. My friend had 3 big alsatian dogs. Unfortunately 2 of them died due to illness. But the third one that survived has not been the same since losing it's other 2 friends cos he witnessed their deaths in the cage. Doctors say it could have affected him mentally. Honestly this once fierce guard dog has become a shadow of it's former self. It just sits around the house all day moping and doing nothing. It never barks anymore. A total stranger can come into the compound without any fear even though we don't cage him anymore. The most shocking part is that the stranger can shout at him and he'll RUN AWAY inside his own compound. It grieves me to see him like this. Is there anything we can do for him now? Cos basically we're just taking care of him now as an aged friend. That's him in the compound 34 Likes 2 Shares

@Ogbiwa As a matter of fact, dogs tend to show signs of trauma even more than human beings in some cases... What the vet doctor said is totally true and the only way to revive the dog is to get it involved in outdoor activities and also get it mixed with other healthy dogs from time to time... That's the reason some people study animal psychology... They might be animals, but they have feelings, they understand love, fear and hate... 159 Likes 8 Shares |

No. They are dumb animals. It is only apes which can process emotional thoughts due to their complex nature. If a dog’s leg is cut today, give it five days at most to heal from the physical pain and it’ll carry on life like nothing happened. Apes on the other hand dwell on both the emotional and physical pain. Get that dumb animal three or four playmates and it’ll go back to factory settings. Right now it is bored. A lack of mental and physical stimulation can make a dog timid. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Nothing emotional about that dog, the idiot was weak right from birth. The 2 dead dogs were the ones boosting his moral. They're are dead now the big chicken hearted is back to his former self "P*ssy Nigga* It happens to human too, every weak azz needs someone that backs them up and once that person is gone... they're back to their old self. If dogs shows emotional, my boss bulldog woulda shown one cuz I've been steadily eating his beef in his presence for 5 years non stop. That's how my boss kids behave like they're Rambo when their parents are at home, but when they're gone they all become humble like a feminist who got a d**k for a first time... cuz they know, heaven knows I'll treat their fûck ups. 15 Likes |

Dog have feelings and emotions just as we humans. Its really sad seeing d dog DAT way but you can help it. Just get it involve with outdoor activities and maybe you should consider bringing another dog so it has someone to play with ....or maybe change of environment Do something fast or d dog might die in its own grief 18 Likes |
