Dont they though?I have seen some odd behavior from animals that points to all things sentient and motivated.

Not that those things are freewill, but I always say that risking your life for another is a choice nature fights against mostly. A dog will die for you or say to hell with it and run for its life leaving you to die. Depends on the personality of the dog.
here is a better example, a mouse will find food and communicate where it is in a maze to others. Lead them to the food.
They ARE capable of lying in SOME cases and keeping the food for themselves.
Choice over instinct. That to me is free will.
