Humans are not born with the ability to recognize their own reflection. Once a sense of self-awareness develops, we are able to see that the reflection is ourselves. The questions become, are dogs self-aware? Other spices and babies are tested using their mirror reaction to see if they are self-aware. Most dogs ignore the reflection after sniffing it and starting to bark. We can't tell if the dog is ignoring the picture because he doesn't have a scent? Or if the dog recognizes himself but is just not as conceited and concerned about his superior primate appearance? We know that dogs have a sense of body and belonging. As this is my foot, my face, my place and my person. What we cannot test is their sense of otherness
