When we look at animals, we know that they are not humans. But how do our closest friends dogs see us? Do they know that we are humans? Or do they actually think we are just strange-looking dogs?
You may be surprised to know that many kinds of animals do not see such differences very much at all. For example, the cuckoo(布谷鸟) lays its eggs in the nest of another bird. They look nothing like their real babies, but these birds will feed the ba6y cuckoos. This is because the birds feed in an instinctive(本能的) way.
Most animals, it seems, will simply separate the world into animals they eat, and animals that eat them. But when it comes to dogs, there is no simple answer to this question.
Sheepdogs leave their mothers when they are born. They grow up with sheep, and come to see them as their family. For this reason, they never attack(攻击)the sheep, and help protect them. They probably think the sheep are dogs too, but we can't be certain.
Similarly, if you keep a dog from birth, the way it sees the world will be different to a dog that grows up with other dogs. It will probably think it is the same kind of animals as you. This can even be true of humans. A Russian boy called Ivan Mishukov, born in 1998. was raised by dogs for two years and came to believe that he was a dog himself
