After reading this heartful story I began to feel more passionate and more thankful for my animals. My dog is my best friend, she makes me happy and she makes me live life better. When reading  ADITHI19’s story I think about things that my dog has done for me. She was there when I first started high school and I loved coming home to her and being around her. She makes home HOME, she makes me enjoy my time at home even if I am fighting with my family. If something happened to my dog Layla I don't know exactly what I would do with myself. I know that when she does pass, it will be a heartbreaking moment and will live with me forever. Do you guys have pets? How do your pets make you feel? And what does your dog do to benefit your life

In the Ted Talk, Julia Espinosa asks a range of questions like if the dog loves you or if you can understand each other's feelings. She gives some facts like yes you don't know what the dog is saying or thinking. Espinosa explains to the listeners that dogs don't recognize the world through specific visualization and sight but actual smell. The Smell of a person can make a dog dislike or like them as a person even though they don't know exactly what they are saying or doing. Espinosa elaborates on if a dog experiences emotions, guilty dogs give a huge emotional example that dogs give to their owners.  Espinosa says that dogs do not express guilt as a human would. A dog is responding to the owner's behavior. If the owner is mad they make this expression so that we don't get mad or don't want to be mad at them.

Watching Julia Espinosas Ted Talk made me think about times when my animals have made a guilty expression even when I did not show signs of being mad at them. So how do I as an owner know whether they did something or not? As a dog owner, you watch your pet's almost every move, especially coming home and seeing if they've had an accident or even torn something up. For instance, I went out with my family for about 6 hours one day and my dogs gave me a guilty look when I came home. But after looking throughout the house nothing was wrong. So I asked myself why they looked at me like this. A couple of hours later I found what I think was so guilty over knocking a trash can over. After giving my dog love and some attention they snap out of the guilt and become themselves again. Watching Espinosa's video it makes me realize that maybe that's how they always are when no one says anything to them or maybe it was because they did something and I just didn't see it. What would you think if you were to walk into your house and see your dog looking guilty?
