Pug Attacking His Doppelganger (his bizarro self in the mirr

rembarsays...

This is actually a demonstration of what can be used as a test for approximated self-awareness! In the mirror test, scientist make two small marks (usually some bright color) on an animal, one a control and the other the test dot. The control dot can be seen by the animal without the mirror, but the test dot can only be seen if the mirror is used. Then the animal is put in front of the mirror. If the animal reacts to both spots in the same manner, then it passes this self-awareness test. If it only reacts to the control dot, then it fails the test.

Of course, it doesn't work so well for dogs because dogs can't see too well, especially colors.
