Can a dog be narcisstic

Answer 1

Its hard to say if human pyschology can be applied to animals, however it sometimes can. Animals can be depressed and have anxiety issues. Both dogs and humans get along so well "mans best friend" because we are both pack animals. (Dog Whisperer, Ceaser Mallian). Which means we share many characterisitcs with each other. I believe dogs can have the triats of narcissists, some small dogs pick fights with other dogs to boost their ego. They will also do things for attention if you dont give them enough. I also believe dogs can be manipulative and trick us into doing things for them, especially if the owners are narcissistic and assume they are too smart to be outsmarted by an animal, think again. However I dont think the exact same pyschology can be applied to dogs. But yes they can have narcissistic triats, afterall they are capable of feeling everything we are.
