Is emotional well being observable in a dog? - Page 2

I have no idea how I tie into this, but okay.

hntr I cant recall the the thread but this was the dog pic:

i think this dog just watched the rabbit and Alice go down a hole. He is thinking he is late.

Lol

My comment was that the owner is nearby taking this pic, and the dog does not show any focus on the owner, nor does he seem alert ( tail up , etc ) towards any other thing.

My own suspicion is that these are the behaviors result when dogs are left alone for significant periods of time especially when living outside.

I have a friend who bought a 6 month old WL pup that was raised outside ( but with the company of other dogs ). She said that no matter what she did the dog had no interest in her ( but only with the other dogs she had ) . In the end she sold the pup because of this.

Then why did you mention me? Never recall seeing above photo or participating in a similar discussion.

hntr probably could have been a user called Joanro.
My bad.

Yes

Mithuna, yes. However, sarcasm is something that requires understanding of the person delivering it.

But in reply to the falacy that a dog must be focused on the owner while it picture is being taken or else there is no connection between dog and owner is rubbish. Here's a dog wuth tremendous connection with its owner....not looking at the owner while pic is being taken.

Both pics are not same. In the pic I posted the owner was very close to the dog ( any one could tell from the photo resolution ...you can see individual pebbles on the ground ) , and the dog DOES NOT show any sign of alertness ( tail , ear , etc ) to any object.
In this pic the dog is obviously much further away from the photographer ( very low resolution photo...can you honestly see the expression on this dog's face???), and the dog is obviously alert to some thing ( so it is a reasonable conclusion that the in this pic the dog is not focused on the owner ).

So stop trying to make an analog out of two completely different scenarios. Im surprised and respected you as an experienced person on here.
