- pault 8y agoUhh, I'm skeptical. My dogs do exactly that any time they see something on the TV that looks like something they would chase. I suspect that's what is going on here. I doubt the doggy is aware that Mustafa is dead and Simba is now an orphan.
- ceejayoz 8y agoYeah. They've also got tens of thousands of years worth of selective breeding for cueing off their owners. There are what I'd call clear examples of animals expressing emotions. I'm not sure this one'd qualify.
- goda90 8y agoI don't doubt at all that animals are emotional, but this video really made me wonder about what the dog is comprehending about the scene. Does it perceive that Mufasa is dead? Does the music affect it? Does it see the sadness in the anthropomorphic face of Simba?
