It has very distinct feelings of pleas- ure and pain, and keen special senses. Its sense of touch is very delicate; its eyes are highly organized, and its hearing is extremely acute, but the sense of scent is so far alove that of the human and all other animals as to be very remarkable. It is obvious also that external and internal sensations … more or less similar to those external and internal sensations of ours by which we instinctively move from place to place, judge of distance, direction, and time, and perceive resist- ance and pressure must be possessed by the dog also. But the dog has not only external and internal sensations; it has memory, imagination, a power of sensible perception, and of associating images in complex mental pictures which are more or less associated with pleasurable or painful feelings. Moreover, we remember how common it is for sleeping dogs to show by slight yelps and twitching and galloping move- ment of the feet that they are dreaming. But in spite of all this resemblance, there is a profound difference between the mind of man and the highest psychical powers of the dog. We can talk, while neither the dog nor any other beast or bird has the gift of speech we have it. Never- theless dogs can and do communicate between themselves. The dog has a language of sounds and gestures to express its feelings and emotions.
