Dog desperate for forgiveness

Man ... you'd never see a cat doin' this!

From Vidme:
Translation:
Anthony: "Are you asking me to forgive you? Are you asking me to forgive you?
I don't understand. I really don't understand.
What do you want? What?
[Ettore gets on his lap]
What do you want? No, it doesn't work like that.
It really doesn't work like that
[asking forgiveness intensifies]
It doesn't work like that. No. No. You are wrong.
You are wrong. You are really wrong."
The girl: "Look how he... I can't get his head."
Anthony: You are wrong, Ettore.
Ettore, you are wrong. No. No. No.
Do you understand where you made the mistake?
Do you understand? Do you understand?
Do you understand where you made the mistake?
I don't think you understood. Eh? Eh? What?
You are hurting me. What? No. No. What?
Ok. We make peace. We make peace. Peace, all right?
We made peace.

I know it's cute and all, but the dog merely understands the guy's upset, and he's doing the thing that usually gets the "d'aw, I'm not upset anymore" reaction. Dogs are said to have no concept of causality (I'm angry now because of what you did back then.) and in my experience it's true.

Dogs either pick up on your tone and body language, or they suffer from expectation of punishment. Bawling them out for something they are not -that second- doing is useless and approaching abuse in my view.

The dog acting sad because the garbage is strewn around the kitchen is not feeling guilty. He knows that when garbage is strewn around the kitchen, he's going to catch shit. The fact he did it is meaningless to him. The only way to get him to understand to stay out of the garbage is to catch him in the act and get medieval on his buttocks.
