    Do you think dogs (animals) recognise their siblings years after being separated?

    Though our dog gets along great with humans, he does not like other dogs.  When we take him for walks, there is one house with a fenced in yard and their dog is outside most of the time. When we pass by, the dogs' sniff at each other and our dog sometimes whines at the other dog.  Today, we were told (by the previous owner of our dog) that these two dogs were born from the same litter. Both dogs have not seen each other since a few weeks after they were born and they are both six years old.

    I think the two of them recognise each other's scent.

    I would guess they feel an attraction/friendship toward each other. Max (my dog) only whines at a couple neighborhood dogs whom he is very friendly with. Others, he either barks at or intently watches as they pass by.

    This what happens when there is incest in the family. LOL.

    My two feral cats came from the same liter and the pound would not let me separate them-they are so close. They use each other for pillows and as the male has seen the female being loved on and petted, he's doing little things like running up an touching our toes before taking off. Monkey see, monkey do. They are tight.
