Nagel was saying that we can't have experiential knowledge of what it is like to be a bat, we don't have access to the qualia of a dog. Just as one human doesn't have access to the qualia of another human.

Empirically showing that dogs have feelings/emotions doesn't show that Nagel was wrong about this. It's something completely different
