In the case of self-recognition, she now does not bark or paw at the mirror. For months, as a youngster, she would walk by the mirror and be startled by the movement. Now she ignores it. If she sees me do something in the mirror, like put down an iPad, she tips her back to look at me to look at me – as if to see if anything is changing. I can’t defend the other perception. It is clear she has immediate visual discrimination of dogs and humans at the dog park, though.

She seems perplexed by the fact humans and dogs look different. While I don’t know she is looking at herself, she seems to understand the difference between me in a mirror and me right in front of her. She no longer thinks it is another dog.

If not, that suggest some sort of self recognition mechanism, given that the bark I give sounds a heluva lot different from the bark I would hear if if I were the hearer of my own bark. Nick Dog recognizing its own bark may be close to the self-recognition in mirror test which dogs and cats fail (and some humans). Dogs do recognize their own odor in many tests. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_test +-----------------+---------------------------+ | Species | Mirror Self-Recognition | +-----------------+---------------------------+ | Infants | Yes (18-24 months) | | Monkeys | No | | Chimps | Yes (2-3 years) | | Dolphins | Yes (2-3 years) | | Democrats | Yes (18-24 months) | | Elephants | Yes (2-3 years) | | Magpies | Yes | | Republicans | Mixed | | Gorillas | Mixed | | Orangutans | Yes | | Pigeons | Mixed | | Octopi | No | | Dogs | No | | Cats | No | +-----------------+---------------------------+ Amsterdam, B.
