In the first question you notice that dogs and human cannot really make to have same type of soul. We find that a human comprised a soul spirit and body while a dog comprised a body and a soul, whereby humans used the soul to guide on ways as the dogs but, while the spirit in human guided on spiritual and religious beliefs this did not apply in a dogs life .
We also see that human soul is capable for reasoning while a dog soul is focused on instinct, emotion and survival. When one dies, one is believed to go to heaven while a dog is believed that it does not have a place in heaven.
In the second question also we are able to see that when dogs are expressing their emotions, it is totally different from humans. Also we come to find that dogs do not experience some emotions as human beings do, which also bring a great difference. This show that dogs could not really possess the same kind of a soul like humans.
Hi Lorraine,
I really enjoyed your conclusion post. You inquiry question is not a question I have really paid any thought to before, so it was really interesting to read your blog post and learn about your reasearch and opinion on the topic. Your point especially, that a human’s brain is capable of reasoning when a dog can’t might be a somewhat straightforward statement, but I’ve never really thought about it before. One peice of advice I might have for you is to expand your concepts a bit more. You are a really nice writer, I would enjoy to hear more of your ideas! If you want to reasearch your topic even more, I found a like that might be interesting: https://www.aaas.org/membership/qualia/what-makes-humans-different
Hi Lorraine, I really liked getting the chance to read your post! I specifically loved how you compared reasoning, emotions, and spirituality to support your conclusion. Your post was very well written and I found it so fun to read. A resource I think could be helpful is the National Geographic article about animals how they communicate and their intelligence.
