I'm saying a dog can't plan things in advance or contemplate life like humans do. They don't have language. A dog can show fear, but it doesn't even know what death or injury is.
We're scared of death because we understand abstract concepts. If you leave your dog alone for 3 hours, it may as well be 3 minutes or vice versa because he doesn't understand what time is. I just realized how ridiculous this conversation is, but it's kind of interesting because dogs are so close to us.

You are getting into more areas than the article is about.
Consider this, how does reward/punishment training work with a dog if the dog does not remember
the action it took in the episode to get the reward instead of the punishment?
Bam!
