I agree. I don’t think dogs reify things like people do.
Besides, for dogs, sight is not as important as smell-- watch a blind dog run around sometime, and it will surprise you-- and I mean a young dog born blind. Most blind dogs became blind in old age, and they are slow because they are old, but young blind dog bops around in an amazing way, with their dog-hearing, and dog-smell.
They don’t even get how sight is important to humans for getting around, or recognizing people. So even if they could grasp “this human does no see,” I don’t think they would know what that means, in human terms.
Incidentally, I even know one Deaf-blind dog whose ability to get around solely by smell amazes me. Maybe she uses echolocation a little or something-- I have no idea. But she runs around, and never bumps into things, recognizes when familiar people have com into the room and runs up to them like any dog, knows when her owner has come home, and greets her at the door. I asked if it was possible that she had some hearing, and was told that that it was possible, but the vet didn’t think so. If she did, it was in the 70dB range. That would means she could hear sirens, thunder, lawn mowers, but that would be about it. She was born Deaf-blind, and has always gotten around just fine.
She’s an albino Pit Bull, and she is probably blind because she is an albino-- she may see shadows, but she keeps her eyes closed most of the time. She may be Deaf from inbreeding.
She was scheduled to be put down, when her current owner discovered her. She was only a couple of weeks old, and her owner took her and bottle-fed her to save her from being put down (the litter was big, and the owners of the mother wanted to cull her from the litter to keep her taking resources from the “good” dogs they could sell). So she is very strongly bonded with her owner. She’s about 4 right now, and very healthy. She plays with my dog, who doesn’t seem to have a clue that she’s “different”-- which was actually my point in telling that story.
If dogs can’t seem to sense blindness in another dog, I doubt they can sense it in a human.
