00:00anthropomorphism it is where we attribute human characteristics to non-human
00:04creatures it's the act of treating animals such as dogs and objects as if
00:07they were human in appearance character or behavior for example we might think
00:12our dog looks guilty after digging a hole in the backyard but in reality guilt
00:16is a human emotion that we project onto our dog you must understand that dogs
00:20think differently from what we do there is an intriguing disparity between human
00:24and canine intelligence dogs think through mind pictures where each picture
00:28naturally triggers the next it's a unique cognitive process that sets them
00:32apart from humans it may seem harmless and enjoyable to refer to our dog as a
00:36baby or ourselves as their parents but there can be underlying consequences that
00:40may follow by attributing thoughts feelings behavior and motivations to dogs
00:44that are actually our own we disrupt the true nature of their being if this
00:49mindset didn't impact how we treat our dogs there would be no issue
