%X Cook and colleagues (2018) use a novel approach to test jealousy in dogs. Although <br>such a non-invasive approach is more than  welcome in comparative research, several <br>methodological short comings limit the impact of this study. <br>We briefly outline two main problems.  (1) There is no evidence that the fake dogs <br>in the study were perceived as real, and thus as social rivals, which would be a prerequisite for jealousy. <br>(2) It is questionable whether dogs generally show the cognitive prerequisites for jealousy<br>, such as attentiveness toward a <br>social rival, the ability to understand intentions ,and a sense of fairness. We suggest that future studies should combine the same creativity <br>with more controlled procedures<br>in order to better understand the evolutionary origins of jealousy.
