I believe so.... I mean not necessarily that they know the English words for "thank you" and it's definition, lol... but I do think they show appreciation. Jackson is NOT a kisser. He hardly ever does. And it's so cute, he tends to give me a few licks on the arm after a fun day (i.e. going to the park etc) and I really do believe it's like him saying thank you.
However... my dads dog, Lilly... she will lick you and lick you for ever and ever. It's more like an obsessive habit lol, so no I do not believe she is showing her appreciation. |
