It depends. I think basic words they understand, but not all the way like a human. I would like to know though.
Gracie Willis, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Yes, I do think animals have thoughts. My dad and I like to guess what my two dogs Bobo and TJ are thinking and feeling. I think that dogs are basically like humans except they’re a LOT hairier!
Grier Crabtree, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Yes animals have feelings to just like humans do. They just speak a little different. If you step close they lay down it that is there way of telling you that they are scared.
Hannah Blair, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I think animals can have thoughts like humans do. I think they talk just like humans do. They are probably talking about how humans made the world so much worse. I think animals don’t like humans.
Hannah Jones, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Do I think animals have thoughts like people do? Well do you have a dog? If you do have a dog have you ever yelled at your dog and your dog’s ears just go down? They might not think like you do but I think they have feelings. Everyone has their one opinion. What do you think?
Hannah Marcum, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I do because they can. My brother can teach them. My mom can teach them too.
Jacob Childers, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I do think that animals have thoughts. Just like humans they think about stuff. I do not think that we have the same thoughts. Animals probably think about treats, big fluffy dog beds, and doggy friends.
Jacob Marcum, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Yes animals have thoughts, feelings and personalities.
Jaden Morell, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Yes, I do think animals have thoughts. Pets probably think about their owners, while wild animals probably think about many things, like how to survive and other things. That is what I think animals think.
James Cavins, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I think animals do have thoughts like they love us as we love them. So they have to be able to think or they cannot do their cool tricks. So yes they should have a mindset.
Joseph Honeycutt, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I think animals do. They are thinking about when someone going to adopt them. Then they might think if someone is going to love them or not.
Kaitlyn Moore, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

When I get home I ring the doorbell every time. I ring it his head. When I pet my dog his face will go crazy. He sounds like he is saying no.
Kasey Berry, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Yes, I think that animals do have thoughts. They are most likely thinking, “These people are crazy!” Some on the other hand our probably thinking, “Just stay here and love me.” Thoughts of animals are unpredictable.
Kaydence Seals, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Yes. I think that they think like wow that human is crazy like we do. They might think we are crazy or cool.
Kaylee Roberts, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I think animals have thoughts. They have a brain so they should have thoughts that is what I think. For example, I will make weird noises and she will turn her head and make a weird face. She is really funny. To be honest they are probably only thinking about food.
Konner Early, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Yes I do think that animals have thoughts. It is proven that animals have dreams. So why not thoughts. I think that they think, “How can I make a mess now all of the toilet paper is up high? Wait I see paint.”
Kylie Barnette, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I guess animals can have thoughts like people. Now I have to say my cat knows everything I do. When my cat knows I do he knows I need to be taught a lesson.
Logan Roberts, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

No animals don’t have thoughts like people do because they don’t know what we are thinking about. I think that animals don’t think like we do in life.
Lynzie Ziehler, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I think animals do have thoughts. If they did not how would they know they´re hungry. They probably have thoughts in dog language.
Madison Mullins, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I think animals have thoughts. They may not be like our thoughts but they probably still have them. Like a tiger might think about what his lunch will be. A lion might think about his mane or a cat might think about having a nap. All of these animals have their own thoughts. It might not be scientifically proven but I think animals have thoughts.
Marissa Livesay, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

What I think animals are thinking us humans are trying to hurt them animals. They might be thinking that we are thinking about how they are going to live their lives.
Megan Pennington, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Yes, because squirrels have to think where it is good to put their nuts. Also bears have to think if the food they eat is good to eat or not. Dogs think if you okay or not my dog does that when we make weird noises.
Mia Franklin, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I believe animals have thoughts as long as it has a brain it can think. Why else would animals make noises to communicate and they have to know how to react so they have to think it’s not a reflex. Scientists even proved animals have feelings why does a bird attack when you’re around its eggs it cares about the eggs. In some way they think somewhat like humans do not as intelligent but they try to stay alive they try to get food, try to fix their problems, and they will try to stay alive that sounds like humans in a way.
Micah Perkins, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I think animals have same thoughts as humans. When you call your dog to come how does it know that you are calling him or her? They have to think so I think they do.
Mikah Woliver, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

When God created us he made us the most intelligent. I think Animals have thoughts just not as many as humans. They only think about food and other things they need. They don’t think about basketball and other stuff like we do.
Morgan Graham, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I think animals think like us, because some animals are very smart. They can do stuff that we can do and they can tell what’s good and what’s not. Most animals are very smart.
Owen Grace, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I think to a certain degree animals have thoughts like us. They probably think “How am I going to get food tonight?” “Who is really a good boy?”
Ryley Crabtree, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Yes I do sometime but I would like to know a pigs thought but for now I just have to guess.
Sadie Evans, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I think animals do have thoughts. I think that because if they see a stranger they might be thinking should I be nice or be mean. When animals are out in the wild they might be thinking should I attack that animal or not.
Seth Cowden, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I thank they are thanking about their owner coming home and them getting feed and playing with their owner.
Simon Robbins, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I don’t really know. In some ways I do but in some ways I don’t think that dogs think. I don’t think that there little brain is big enough. I do because they always stop before they do something.
Summer Stapleton, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Do you think animals think like humans? I do because they show action people told me that when dogs wag there tail that means there happy so I think we smile to show that we are happy. I think animals are very cool they can save people’s lives and there has been many animals that have saved their owners lives. That is why you show dogs and any other animal care. If you treat them good they treat you good.
Thomas Ely, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Do you think animals have thoughts like people do? What are they thinking? They sometimes do and when they do they are funny. We do not know what they are thinking though, which is sad. We all like animals, even when they are acting like humans.
Tyler Eads, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Some, like my dog. It has to think to open a sucker with its paws. My opinion is that some do and some don’t. Some dogs fall of couches and mindlessly eat dog food. So therefore they may think but not like humans.
Wesley Honeycutt, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

I think they could think. If they could, they would think about their prey, own kind, and other things. I think this because, let’s say cats for example, they would not purr randomly or start meowing for no reason except for them wanting them to be petted. That is my journal for this week. Bye, bye!
Zach Eads, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones

Yes, I think animals do have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking, “When are you going to get home and get me some food?” I think they miss you when you’re not home. My dog is always happy when I get home from school.
Aiden Byington, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Yes, I think animals do have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking about many different things. Maybe they’re thinking about food because they might be hungry. Sometimes it seems to me that animals are just like us, but they can’t talk or do certain things like we can.
Allison Standifer, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Yes, I think animals do have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking about food. I know my dogs are always looking for food. They could eat a whole pizza and still want more.
Alyssa Lewis, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Yes, I think animals have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking about when they are going to get more food.
Andrew Rutherford, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Yes, I do think animals have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking about why people hold them so much because of the looks they give me. Sometimes my dog gives me a sweet look and makes me feel like she wants to be held. Other times she gives me a disgusted look that tells me she would really like me to put her down. I think animals have thoughts just as much as humans do.
Bella Rouse, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Brynnen Pendergraft, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Yes, I think animals do have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking about what it would be like if they were human.

Carrie Wilder, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Yes, I think animals do have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking, “Why are you touching me?” some animals don’t like to be touched, some of them love it. Most animals think about a lot of things that go through their minds. Most animals are kind and caring.
Charity Gibson, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Yes, I think animals do have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking about food because some dogs will sit at your feet while you’re sitting down at the dinner table and look at you like, “I sure wish you would drop that”.
Chelsea Ayers, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Yes, I think animals do have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking about ways they can make us feel better when we are sad. Most animals are probably thinking, “Why do these people talk to me that way?” I think animals care about us like we care about them.
Chloe Willis, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Yes, I think animals do have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking about survival because they have to learn how to survive with all the other animals.
Clayton Moore, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Yes, I think animals do have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking about their owner and why do they look different than them. I also believe dogs think about survival more than anything else.
Collier Collins, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks

Yes, I think animals do have thoughts like people. I think they are thinking about their owner because if anyone in my family leaves, then my dog goes crazy and will not stop looking for them. My dog is also ecstatic when someone comes home. You can tell by her tail wagging.
Colten Freeman, 7th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Brooks
