Sometimes it may seem that pets express their emotions just like people.
Let's figure out whether this is really true when it comes to tears.
Can dogs cry?
Four-legged pets do have tear glands, but a dog is unlikely to cry because it is sad.
Animals produce tears only when they need to remove a foreign body from the eye or moisten the cornea.
However, dogs can feel pain and resentment, they just express these feelings not through tears, but with the help of other signs.
For example, instead of tears of joy, the pet will happily wag its tail, try to lick the owner and jump into his arms.
If the dog is upset, then, on the contrary, it will try to turn away from its person.
When a dog is jealous, it will try its best to attract a person's attention.
If you notice tears in your dog, this is most likely a sign of some disease. This symptom accompanies allergic reactions, inflammations and other causes that only a veterinarian can determine.
