I go to the dog park. A lot. Something that makes me appreciate dogs is how quick they are to forgive one another.

They also don’t tolerate dogs being rude to them or dogs being mean to one another. They fight about it, more bark than bite, but still, they make their displeasure known.

Yet, they forgive each other for it almost instantly afterwards. Just a quick nose bump and it’s all done.

@KARiley40 I wonder if it’s the lack of the ability to recursively model each other’s expected future mental states that makes them so constantly happy and forgiving.

@USBloveDog Maybe! They do certainly live in the moment and the past is the past.
