I have a few dogs, and I believe that all of them can sense how I'm feeling. I know it sounds weird, but sometimes when a human and an animal become extremely close, they can sense things about one another and almost communicate without speaking, telepathically, if you will. Some people even think that when they're out and about, and when they suddenly think of their dog, the dog is trying to send them a message or the dog is thinking about you. There are many different beliefs out there.
I think that dogs can certainly sense those things. For centuries and centuries, dogs and humans have seemed to have a special connection. When a dog sees us yelling, or hitting someone else (even if we're just joking), it makes them nervous. When I yell or have a fake slap fight with someone, one of my dogs goes crazy and starts barking, and she tries to bite me and/or the other person to get us to stop. When one of my dogs sees me crying, she cuddles by me on my bed. And when I'm happy, my dog is always wagging her tail and following me. (When I say my dog, I'm referring to the dog who I'm closest to.)
It's really amazing what animals, not just dogs, can sense. I communicate non-verbally with horses, too. It's just amazing what can be accomplished when you and an animal develop a close bond.

Yes they can. If I am upset my dog Justice will come and lay his head on my lap. Same if I am crying. Everyone knows when I'm angry they all run and hide. (even the kid and hubby). But then again my dogs think they are human.

Yes definitely, if I'm mad I have one dog that will go and hide, he is a rescue dog, and he's very good, but he always knows - I don't even have to say anything and he knows. My german shepherds can also tell, they also know when I'm afraid, so they must be able to sense the other emotions.

I'm sure you can tell when a loved one is upset, angry or sad. Dogs are not stupid. They know how to read your body language and they know your moods just by the way you breathe.

Yes they can. It comes from the bond an animal and owner have.
Isn't it amazing how a dog can sense our emotions when our own species don't even have a clue?

Yes. And, some dogs can sense when a person is having an epileptic seizure, a stroke, heart attack, and many other things. Make your dog a part of your 'pack' and he will never let you down!
