JoshINHB, and you know this how? Did your dogs tell you?
Who is using anthropomorphic projection?
@daedalus2u
Relatively few animals can recognize themselves in a mirror.
That's a relatively strong anthropocentric standard.
I'm sure that my dogs think that a self aware entity should be able to recognize the odor of the urine that they left anywhere withing the last several months and marvel at our inability to do so.
