I have 2 dogs - they are the absolute best, most brilliant, insanely smart dogs to have ever existed...ever. Obviously.
Anyway, since I have 2 I've always wondered if one can ever really be jealous of the other...like jealous-jealous.
In order to come to some sort of conclusion, I performed a good old fashioned experiment...
Doggie Envy Lab Report
Purpose: To determine if dogs can be jealous or envious of one another.
Hypothesis: Dogs can be jealous of one another.
Materials: 2 miniature long-haired dachshunds (O and L), 1 bag of baa-baa-q's, 1 adoring owner (J)
Procedure: Took a single baa-baa-q from bag. Gave said bbq to 1 dachshund (L), who started gnawing and enjoying. Other dachshund (O) looked on in what appeared to be disbelief. O then turned attention to aforementioned adoring owner (J). Expression turned from disbelief to anger and finally to absolute disgust. O proceeded to fly into what can only be described as a "Jealous Rage" (mad barking, drop-kick attempt on L, "fake-out" technique used as distraction, frantic and spontaneous attempts at biting through Adoring Owner (J)'s achilles tendon).
Conclusion: Dogs can be jealous of one another.
ScienceDaily is backing me up on this! I'm a bonafide SCIENTIST, guys!!!
