That's not true.

They can and foo feel pain, just like any other dog. They are just inclined to ignore the pain to please their master/continue whatever it is they are doing.

So yes they feel pain, they are just loyal enough that they won't react much to it.

I wouldn't call it loyalty. In the wild showing pain gets you killed. You dint show someone else you're in pain. That's the difference between my pit/Bulldog /mastiff mix and my husky. Pit got spayed jumped into the car (I caught her) husky had to be carried down the stairs and gently laid in the truck and screamed the whole time.

That's exactly what I said. Of course they feel it. But if it causes no reaction, it's not really pain.

No they hide their reaction it's not that the pain doesn't exist. That isn't what you said. I'm disagreeing with you on the fundamental level
