A dog won't jump off a cliff, but not because he's contemplating life or death. He doesn't jump for the same reason he chases a squirrel when it runs past him...instinct. Dogs don't "think" in the same way we do. You would have to have language to do that. A dog doesn't know what death is. How the fuck would he?
