How many emotions does a dog have?
Do cats have less emotions than a dog?
How many emotions does a dolphin have?
Do birds have emotions?
Could a computer program that understands emotions, look for ways to understanding different species language ?

all of the above have been looked at so there is probably heaps out there if you look.
This means that a dog will have all of the basic emotions: joy, fear, anger, disgust, and, yes, love, but the dog does not experience the more complex emotions like guilt, pride, and shame. Many would argue that they have seen evidence indicating their dog is capable of experiencing guilt.
? So why dont they test for this?

How would they do that?
Trouble is, dogs will “act guilty” when scolded whether or not they’ve actually done anything wrong. But there have been some tests:
The new experiment was designed to address some of these problems. First, the researchers determined the baseline greeting behavior for each of sixty four dogs, when reunited with their owner after a brief separation. Then, the researchers enforced a social rule that food placed on a table was for humans, not for dogs. Then, dogs were left alone in the room with the food. Then, researchers assessed how dogs greeted their owners after eating or not eating the food. In addition, they assessed whether the owners could determine whether or not the dog had transgressed and eaten the food.

It would be quite easy do design an experiment around the concept – Did you do that?

Lots of people do it unconsciously.

That’s a darn good idea. I didn’t see it coming.
The answer would be “yes”.
And with a bit of cyber enhancement it could be done as a two way conversation. Arrange for matching cybernetic pickups and actuators for different species. Stick to simple emotions first, then expand to more complex emotions.

A lot of people only have two emotions, pissed or pissed off.

Given enough time, we could have a conversation with an amoeba.

At the moment there is still th has, of the uncanny valley.

I think even an amoeba could be pissed or pissed off.

Sometimes around here I think I am in fact conversing with an amoeba

Nothing new. I converse with amoeby things every time I leave the house.
