Lots of good advice in some of the posts above. But I have to disagree with this one as well. I don't know that they are capable of revenge as we see it, but I do believe they exhibit emotion. Have you ever seen how a companion dog acts when one of its house mates passes away or doesn't come back home? Is this not emotion? JMHO
