Animals can tell right from wrong

My dog knows exactly when he's done wrong. The smirk on his face while he watched me dig up my slops he'd buried yesterday is evidence enough of that fact

But does he morally understand what psychological effect that has had on you?

Ps: Not me wanting to know this but my dog as he is worried about the trust issues between the two species.

My big dog sometimes leaves some of his bones or meat for the small poodle. He eats then steps backwards and allows the little one to eat. He also shares he's dog food and sometimes they even eat out of the same bowl. He's always been like that though when we got him he wouldn't mind you taking the food out of he's mouth even, he would let you, i dont know if its just the way he was raised. He doesnt feel intimidated or worried around food its like he knows there'll be more so he doesnt have to worry about it.

The poodle on the other hand will NEVER share, he growls and runs away with his food... greedy little bastard.

So i think its more about conditioning than a moral code.

Had a poodle and currently have a yorkie. Same behaviour from both. However... the I have two German Shepards who are generous...
 
I think we are leaving out the simple fact that, some men are animals who don't know right from wrong! :D :D

Yeah - though I've heard of some women who think no could actually be interpreted as yes... ;)
