Studies show dogs can-and often do-feel jealousy, especially when their human gives attention to another dog.

Research from the University of Auckland and UC San Diego found that dogs displayed clear jealous behavior-like pushing, snapping, or trying to insert themselves-when their owners petted realistic dog-like toys, but not when attention was directed at inanimate objects or books .

These reactions occurred even when the "rival" was hidden from view, suggesting dogs sensed the threat to their special bond .

Experts describe this as a form of "primordial jealousy"— an emotional response rooted in social attachment-rather than the complex, self-reflective jealousy humans experience .

In short, if your pup barges in when you're cuddling another "dog," it's less about spoiled behavior and more about protecting their relationship with you.

Haha, you fool! You fell right into my trap of posting more void pics for my enjoyment!

I want these two to go on adventures together. It would be so much fun.

Honestly, I’m the lucky one. He is an amazing human.

Because they are awesome!

Oh, but a therapist can write an emotional support animal letter so you don’t have to pay kitty rent!

She can! She needs a lot of calories so she spend extra time hunting bugs at night.

Come here and give me a hug!

and if you wonder why it's called a "tailed tailless bat:"

The common name of the bat is typically given as the "tailed tailless bat". This is because the species belongs to the genus Anoura, commonly called the "tailless bats", yet it possesses a tail. However, the name is arguably somewhat misleading, since only three of the other seven species of "tailless bats" genuinely lack a tail.

Please don’t consider this an approval of his chonkiness - he is at “fat camp,” which is the obviously right thing to do. Don’t overfeed your pets, people!

This is a statement from his wife from the Munich Security Conference:

"Thank you to the conference for giving me the opportunity to speak. I’m sure you have seen the terrible news. I kept thinking, should I come here or go be with my children. And it occurred to me that if Alexei was in my shoes, he would be standing on this stage.

I don’t know whether to believe the terrible news we received from Russian government sources because for many years – and you all know this – we cannot believe Putin and his government; they are always lying.

But if it is true… I want Putin and his friends and his government to know that they will bear the full brunt of responsibility for what they did to our country, my family, and my husband. And that day will come very soon.

I want to call on the world community, everyone in this room, people all over the world to come together and defeat this evil, this reign of terror. Putin must be held personally responsible for the horrors he did to my country, our country, in the recent years. Thank you."
