Dogs are impressed by their own reflection in the mirror, but they can never recognize themselves in the mirror. about this RIA Novosti said Vladimir Golubev, President of the Russian Sinological Federation (RKF).
“A pet does not bark at itself. To recognize itself or another dog, the pet uses smell rather than sight. “After smelling the image, the dog understands that there is no one on the other side and will most likely lose interest in the reflection in the mirror,” he said.
The expert noted that when the pet noticed the mirror, it seemed to recognize itself or its relative. The dog may be interested in the reflection in the mirror, try to go around it, start barking, try to smell a moving object, and adopt attack poses. When the animal does not detect the smell, it can quickly lose interest in the image in the mirror.
The dog expert added that only orangutans, chimpanzees, pygmy chimpanzees, gorillas, bottlenose dolphins, elephants, killer whales and magpies can recognize themselves in the mirror.
