Are dogs actually capable of love Or are they just conditioned

Dogs? No. Women? Yes.

Dogs are animals you retard
They don't have the ability to think and feel the same way humans do. Love is a human construct, and what you think is a smile is only a facial expression.

In the end, does it really matter?
Hell, free will is an illusion too. But regardless if you believe it or not, nothing changes.

So are humans, what's your point

Dogs and animals still form bonds that resemble love in humans. Retard.

I personally don't believe dogs are capable of love. They're too stupid to understand love like we do.

Dogs can love yes, in the same eay humans do as well. Love is a very very simple set of neurochemical reactions and psychological constructs that reduce to the absorption and production of mainly two or three major neurotransmitters. Dogs brains fill with dopamine when you pet them and emotionally bond with them, very similarly to humans.

Dogs are all of the love without any of the pretentiousness or complex psychology that human love entails.

This. It's why the police have to have male dogs for K9 units and such as the chemical bonds formed in females can be vastly stronger than males leading to issues such as the K9 not leaving for help in situations of their officer being indisposed of.

Oh so you haven't chemically analyzed the grey matter with mass spectroscopy to determine constituent elements of a molecule? I love how the simpletons and ignoramouses screech so loudly yet always have nothing to say.

Come back when you complete highschool chemistry.

They, like dogs, can smell your fear and betaness and determine you're the betamale of the societal pack. You have to approach them as you would any dog you wish to earn the loyalty of and make it known through body language that you're the alpha of that particular moment and that your headpats are to be taken like a good beta. I'm told treats can also earn they're affection.
