125. Can There Be Coincidences In A Dog's World?

What kind of a mental world does a dog have to have to experiences coincidences? Coincidences are more than surprises and odd juxtipositioning of events, objects, and beings. Coincidences imply, don't they, that there is a order to the world independently of the mind experiencing the coincidences. A dog would have to be able to stand aside from events in order to experience them as coincidences. Might a dog have to be able to have a mental thought of a future event, in order that that coincidences near that event would be apparent? For instance, might a dog bury a bone, with the expectation of a future event of eating the bone, anticipating the pleasure it would give to relief its hunger then? Would coincidences be similar to ironies? How could we determine whether a dog can stand aside from the world, separating "the world" from "its world"? How could we test such a proposition? My assumption is that a dog is fully "in its world now" and therefore couldn't stand aside. So that the dog's world has no coincidences, just a journey defined by following scents, in which surprises occur, but no coincidences.
