Scientists believe it's unlikely. It's more likely that the behaviors that owners identify with a dog's remorse are a reaction to being reprimanded. They just do not consider their violation as thoroughly as you do.

T'Challa is therefore just slightly less well-off than the whole country of Sweden, which has a nominal GDP of $507 billion.

That was taken over by the idea of divination, where you can actually look at things in nature and study them carefully, such as tea-leaf reading."
