Dr. Coren has also argued that dogs demonstrate a sophisticated theory of mind by engaging in deception, which he supports with a number of anecdotes, including one example where a dog hid a stolen treat by sitting on it until the rightful owner of the treat left the room.

Together, the empirical data and anecdotal evidence points to dogs possessing at least a limited form of theory of mind.
