Is anthropomorphism like the actual animal?

Answer:

Anthropomorphism is the attributing of human characteristics to an animal. For example, saying that your dog "had fun at his birthday party and was so proud that it was his birthday." Dogs don't really know that it is their birthday, so saying this is anthropomorphizing the dog.
