^except animals can and do experience some of those emotions, in highly publicized cases... it may be a rare event, but if as you say they cannot be trained for such things... then why would the animal being a pet matter?

It's most likely that at some point humans learned to harness aura by copying animals, because that is how our Irl ancestors made primitive tools, which indicates we should expect that at least some wild animals unlock their aura.
