In addition, mammals share the same nervous system, neurochemicals, perceptions, and emotions, all of which are in integration into the experience of pain, says Marc Bekoff, evolutionary biologist and author.
Whether mammals feel pain like we do is unknown, Bekoff says—but that doesn’t mean they don’t experience it. (Read how your dog knows exactly what you’re saying.)

where Foster was brought in for treatment. Human amputees also experience this phenomenon.
