I've heard that dogs can tell the difference between images on television and in real life. They do this apparently by the way the images smell (obviously).
So, if a dog were to hallucinate and they knew the image was not real, how would they react? The same way they do to digital images?
The reason I ask this is well....I don't know...can dogs even hallucinate? If animals could talk it would be mceast ier to ask this.

Dogs, along with other many other animals can sense basic emotions.... Happy, sad, mad, scared, excited etc... When you are tripping, you emotions are more noticeable to people and probably dogs. Its like we put out this invisible field of emotions that other people sense unconsciously... Thats why you can look at another person sometimes know exactly how they are feeling in an instant, without asking them how they are feeling. So IME, pets... especially our own dogs and cats, can sense there is 'something' different.

Of course. But dogs aren't really human are they?

by definition a hallucination is something that cannot be deciphered from reality. Neither a human or a dog or any other animal could tell the difference.
What most people call "hallucinations" are better classified as "pseudohallucinations"

Non-verbal animals can certainly tell the difference between an injection of a hallucinogen and an injection of saline.
Whether or not they are "hallucinating" or how exactly they tell the difference between the two is unknown.

I guess what I was asking is would a dog be able to tell if it were seeing a hallucination by your definition of one due to its more honed senses such as smell. Example: A dog "hallucinates" its owner but could tell something was off because it doesn't smell like its owner.
