    This is gonna be unpopular but it’s kinda hard to hop on that train when most animals fight their own reflection in a mirror. It’s even like half and half for dogs

    Edit: I love dogs and animals, I just think we should be realistic and not go too crazy on the subject from our natural love of them

      My friend’s dog was extremely self aware, more than most dogs I would say (not an expert), but would still try and eat its own poop.

        FYI for anyone else who has this issue, I changed my previous pups food and he stopped trying to eat his poo so maybe it was a slight nutritional imbalance or something.
