Although {\textless}br{\textgreater}such a non-invasive approach is more than welcome in comparative research, several {\textless}br{\textgreater}methodological short comings limit the impact of this study. {\textless}br{\textgreater}We briefly outline two main problems. (1) There is no evidence that the fake dogs {\textless}br{\textgreater}in the study were perceived as real, and thus as social rivals, which would be a prerequisite for jealousy. {\textless}br{\textgreater}(2) It is questionable whether dogs generally show the cognitive prerequisites for jealousy{\textless}br{\textgreater}, such as attentiveness toward a {\textless}br{\textgreater}social rival, the ability to understand intentions ,and a sense of fairness. We suggest that future studies should combine the same creativity {\textless}br{\textgreater}with more controlled procedures{\textless}br{\textgreater}in order to better understand the evolutionary origins of jealousy.}}, journal = {{Animal sentience : an interdisciplinary journal on animal feeling}}, volume = {22}, number = {18}, eid = {147}, }
