Who is Smarter?
Go ahead, talk to your dogs...
Posted by Hello
That article talks about a dog that recognize about 200 words and has the ability to learn new words. Its ability is equivalent to a 3 year old child.
It knows which toy to fetch when the owner calls by the toys' names.
The article also says dogs have been evolving with human, getting smarter over time...
So if you really think about it, how can say that we are really smarter than dogs?
When our dogs bark, or our neighbors' dogs to woof woof at night, do we know what they are talking about? Do we know if they mean there's a rat passing by, or a cat, or a burglar? I see more people telling their dogs to shut up than by responding correctly, and get their dogs friendly pet on the shoulder...
If we can't even understand 10 words of dog language, how can say that we are really smarter than dogs?
A friend said, "they just need thumbs, then they can take over the world."
Probably. ;)

yeah but... that's 'cause dogs never taught us their language... i mean i never saw a bsl class at school (bark as second language), or even rrsl (ruff ruff as second language) i bet if they taught us as well as we taught them, we could learn 10 barks. but i think they don't want to teach us, and give us that power, they want to take over the world instead! :P
