Best Answer

Dogs have always been able to understand feelings, some people don't notice that when they're upset their dogs will cuddle up closer or come over and lick your hand, they are extremely capable of reading body language and air tension so when you're upset the tension will be calm and sad. So in answer to the question, yes.

Yes they do. They can feel jealousy, love, hate, hurt feelings, happy, sad, etc. Just watch a dog for awhile.
