Is this correctly said?

Can I use this kind of sentence:

This tastes good, but I'm not sure if a dog thinks that way.
  

Top answer

Even if you and the dog are presently sharing a bowl, I think some adjustment is needed. This tastes good [to me], but I'm not sure if the dog thinks that way. (shares my opinion) This tastes good, but I'm not sure if a dog would think [of it] that way.
