I wouldn't trust anyone who claims with utter certainty to know what everyone's dog is feeling.
X2. Although I think to some extent it's wrong to humanize any animal, I also believe that dogs have been domesticated for so long that how they react and behave has changed. Temperament plays a big part in whether or not a dog can be a companion animal, therapy dog, etc. IMHO a dog's innate ability to sense and behave accordingly is part of that temperament, which also allows it do react to our behavior.
