When You're So Very Cute, Even You Can't Resist Checking Yourself Out In The Mirror!

It may come as a surprise to us, but many animals aren’t capable of recognising themselves in the mirror! It’s known as the mirror test, and it is one of the several methods used to check whether the animal is capable of self-awareness.

Mankind is obviously one of those creatures who easily passes the test, but other surprising members of the self-awareness club includes ants and the Eurasian magpie!

Sadly, this very short and prestigious list does not include dogs. Of course they very likely to be able to recognize themselves in many other ways, such as through scents, but just by sight alone they’re not going to be able to realise that the other pup in the mirror is actually them!

So when Jax the Golden Retriever puppy spots himself in the mirror, the first thing he tries to do is greet that other handsome pup! Alas, there seems to be an invisible barrier between them. Don’t worry, other pup! Jax will get you out soon!
