No, dogs are not small humans and do not react the same to human medications. Dogs are extremely sensitive to the side effects of Motrin (and all other human over-the-counter pain medicines like Tylenol, Advil, Aleve, paracetamal, aspirin, ibuprofin, etc); a single pill can be enough to cause fatal stomach ulcers in your dog.
If you believe your dog would benefit from pain medication, you need to make an appointment with your veterinarian. There are safe pain medications for dogs, but you need a veterinary prescription to access them.
