[@JesperoTV]

Hahaha! For real though, is it maybe because sibling cat has a litter box inside, and Bunny can smell that? And poop has been modelled to be kinda important (like, poop is already important to dogs, and the poop button goes outside and gets you attention) so maybe it's Bunny's way to show affection?

[@chromatilla]

I get it, Bunny. Whenever I see a cat outside I too am like "soundhelpFRIENDmomLOOKNOW"

It is actually so cool to see her get flustered when she’s excited! And “sound settle” is a genius combination for “shut up” it is very interesting to see how specific and unique Bunny’s language skills are and how they’ve developed to be that way at this point.

I like how she got so happy when she saw a cat that she immediately referred to it as "friend."

[@2fortsmostwanted]

She looked so proud of herself for communicating that the cat was "upstairs"

[@sallybalkin8507]

When I worked in the intellectual disability field, one of the people I worked with had a limited vocabulary. He didn't know how to express what he wanted, but made up simple, repetitive, and untrue stories that were always the same, only the names may had changed, if you tried to verify. He had a pattern of starting communication with "The other day". He didn't have a grasp on how to verbalise tense other than sort of parroting phrases he had deliberately been taught. One other worker took the time to correct him every time he said something in present tense, or no tense, when he was talking about something in the past. One day he used past tense correctly and efficiently, on his own, without any correction or encouragement. We were amazed and delighted. He had been excitedly watching a motorbike in a paddock across the road the day before, and next day went to the fence and, instead of just saying " The other day there was motorbike", or something like that, he just came out with "I saw a motorbike." Its hard to explain the whole situation. But this was an amazing leap for him. The brain and consciousness are extraordinary.

[@futurestoryteller]

"Bunny the dog is obsessed with cats" just sounds like the first line of a children's book.

[@kells4723]

As precious as Bunny is, and how clever she is, I am equally impressed with Bunny’s “parents” providing constant reassurance after each “conversation”.

[@slytherinsheir1308]

Sassy! calling the cat a little sh*t haha

[@VanStolin]

Ok, this is actually pretty crazy. I can understand knowing sound as a concept and I assume that you modeled settle for things like calming down. So did she realize herself that she could combine sound and settle to tell things to be quiet? The thought process alone for that is immense, because it shows that word definitions aren't concrete in her mind and that a word and it's use can have multiple. Stella has shown this a little with Outside Water replacing her Beach button, which shows that she knows that the beach is a place with water and isn't just pressing it because she knows she gets taken to a place she likes. Also, this is quite interesting that she is expressing a desire like this. Usually you think of Pets desires in a more tangible sense, like Food, sleep, bathroom, play, but here she just simply doesn't like the sound of a cat meowing?

[@pachliolite7986]

She has a friend called tango if I remember right

[@PaulGuy]

Years ago, I read an article in National Geographic about animal intelligence. One animal in iy was a parrot. It knew "banana" and "apple", and would ask for each by name. Later, after it had had oranges (I think) a few times, it started asking for them as well. But it didn't know what they were called, so it called them "banapples". The bird made up a new word for a new thing, based on the words it already had. Animals are mich smarter than we realize, we just have such poor methods of communication with each other. Except deer. Deer are dumb as rocks.

[@Normacly]

@@PaulGuy In essence, they have the mental capability of a five years old humans. For example, when my niece was 3, she always ask for strawberry milk (i.e. smoothie) because she didn't know it is called smoothie.

"sound settle" is my favourite

[@calcifer6142]

[@lesbiansaregoodandch]

Yeah today is day number 2 of having buttons, it's 2 o'clock in the morning, I'm in bed about to go to sleep and I hear "go for a walk" being pressed by my 2 year old border collie pit mix. Naturally we went for a walk haha.

[@Hello-ep2fx]

When bunny was doing her long sentence. As you said she was excited, kind of reminds me of a toddler running up their parents speaking gibberish, but making sense to the parents. An as I’ve learned some animals have the brains of toddlers, like dogs.

[@coziclair]

"Cat is went :D"

[@grokeffer6226]

Bunny is smart and pretty.

[@thewyj]

I wonder if some of the longer or more "gibberish" sentences are because Bunny is trying to express two things at the same time?

[@renakunisaki]

There's a decent chance some of the presses are accidental.

[@Eninomol]

Sound settle cat bye = shut up cat and leave! OMG I love this dog!

[@Skyprince27]

2035: Dogs operate their own KZbin channels, mostly to troll cats.

[@kioku618]

I've seen in other videos it was used for like settling down on the couch/relaxing/taking a break and stuff.

[@hagamapama]

So in other words, "calm down your noise, cat"

[@titsarmageddon]

"Shut up Cat go away" 😂😂

[@christinek3122]

Its like when a baby is starting to talk. They have a limited amount of words its up to you to figure out what it means. My bird only knows X amount of words... if she's into something she isn't supposed to be you hear her say "step up" because she knows if you see her thats what you will say. We call it telling on herself lol

[@rukisar6312]

That's very creative to put together words from a limited set of choices to form phrases that can communicate ideas that aren't their own button on the board, such as "sound settle"

[@redreaper2752]

I don’t tend to like the designer dog breeds but Bunny is so interesting looking. And obviously very smart.

Bunny is just brilliant. Every time I think of our past dogs I feel bad because they didn't have the opportunity to express themselves.

Whoever thought of this originally THANK you.

If she actually understands as much as it looks like than I think upstairs is anywhere above her maybe given the cat perch was also considered "upstairs".

What I'm more interested in are the implications this has for the concept of "theory of mind". Certain sentences Bunny makes (assuming they are being correctly interpreted) sort of imply that she is able to process the concept of theory of mind, if so, them this has tremendous implications.

[@bowlsallbroken]
