Yes of course! That's why dogs always follow you when you go into the kitchen

The question then becomes, are dogs actually smarter than humans? They let us think we are in charge, but are we? Did they train us and we are simply so deluded that we think it's the other way around?

We feed them, and what do they do? Let us play with them. We take them to the vet and give them treats, and they make us clean up after them. They sleep in our beds and we do their laundry so that they can put their muddy selves on clean sheets....just saying...
