Cat pupils are incredibly responsible to their emotions and feelings. They dilate with sympathetic activity, which includes fear, or predatory thoughts. For a cat that's about to attack you, sometimes the only clue will be the pupils dilating like this!

We have one dog who’s absolutely terrified of doors. She’s been like this since she was a pup. She never had anything happen with a door hitting her or anything like that so we’ve always been very confused by her fear of doors. I’ve tried treats, walking her on a leash through

Dog fighting is completely evil, as there is NO WAY the dogs enjoy fighting. It would be highly stressful, painful and dangerous. I don't know why I need to say this, but obviously some people don't understand or care.

I hope this dog is okay and wasn't too stressed by this! Some dogs will lose their appetite when fearful, others can use food to help them cope. This dog appears to eat faster when stressed. Some dogs also snap or grab food more forcefully when feeling anxious!

Australian woman fined for riding motorbike with her dog! The dog wasn't wearing a helmet or eye protection, but was strapped to her with a harness.

If you look at the comments in this video, it's all people saying these animals are sedated. I'm honestly so happy because when I first posted on this video months ago and said the same thing, I was one of the only ones. People are starting to wake up! 😌

These are dogs that were put up for adoption and they taught them to drive to show they were worthy of adoption? Seems like teaching them not to pee inside and loose leash walking might have been more useful šŸ¤”

This shows just how much dogs rely on habits when deciding what to do. They don't necessarily retest their hypotheses once they learn something. As far as this dog's concerned, there is an invisible door that the human must open to get through.

This dog is really upset, why would you do that to your dog!?! This dog may now be traumatized and attack every visitor who comes through that door 🤦
