You put a paint or some other patch onto the animal's forehead and show them a mirror. If they realize themselves in the mirror, they will touch themselves in that spot.
Very few animals seem to notice themselves in mirrors. Great apes including humans, elephants, dolphins, some birds and very few fish.
Dogs never pass the test. We tend to humanize them but they are not really smart animals. They seem to have no capacity of conceptualization.
