The mirror test is interesting.
I've held my dog up to the mirror before. She doesn't react at all...she knows it isn't another dog, she just doesn't seem to care. She clearly knows I am holding her up, and she can see my reflection in the mirror as well.
But she shows no reaction. She is smart enough to know that what she is seeing isn't actually there...but I don't know if she realizes that the little while ball of fur in my arms is actually her.
