@@Milamberinx But that's what I meant. Other animals, especially non-mammals have forms of intelligence we can not even grasp. I think we shouldn't dismiss animals as less valuable, just because they are different. Many of them are probably even more valuable in terms of contribution to eco systems. I just liked that the comment stated 'animals'. A common viewpoint is that pets are more valuable, are more deserving of protection than other species. The arguments often fit exactly the narrative in how people exploit animals. Eg "chicken aren't as intelligent as my pets, thus I can have them bred, mutilated and killed for me without questioning my exploitative consumerism". A statement like "dogs are intelligent" doesn't challenge the world view of most people. Therefore I think it is important to point out intelligence and overall worth of all animals any chance we get.

After that, I would see him examining himself in the mirror, and I'd tell him what a handsome dog he was - he really was bizarre-looking, but you don't tell your dog something like that. He would look at me in the mirror and wag his tail. So by all this behavior, I came to the conclusion that he did know the dog he saw in the mirror was him.

Possibly! I think, though, based on Bunny’s typical speech patterns, that “Hi we” and “Friend Come” and the dog & cat statements were each separate. I think she usually tries to finish a statement before asking for a response, unless she’s answering questions about a larger issue like she did when there was a “stranger” in her paw.

Very consistent with the answer of this is dog/bunny... curious to see more cross-testing, for example if Dad is in front of the mirror, he can model ‘is dad’ and look at himself and point to the mirror, you model it, model it for cat. This would bring more evidence if you ask ‘who’ when its not her reflection, and she answers correctly, that she isnt just repeating ‘that’s bunny’ back to you (though i do think she understands it is her, where at first she did not or asked ‘who this’. Possibly due to her becoming old enough to get the concept? Really interesting! I think its adorable how she reports sounds she hears to you. Trying to be a guard dog :D

The fact that the dog is saying who this which means it’s a human saying why am I a dog then looking in the mirror or creepy

Of all those "animals talking with buttons" videos, this is probably the most impressive. And the speed in which she finds the correct buttons - she literally _walks_ over them at this point in the correct order. I have no doubt that she understands their meaning, by the way she responds (e.g. looking at the cat when asked where the cat is). There must be something in this mirror theory, that once a creature reflects itself in a mirror and recognizes that it's her, her levels of consciousness and mental skills start to increase faster. Makes you wonder if the Monolith in "2001: A Space Odyssey" had a reflective surface :J

The buttons mean the dog can initiate conversation and guide direction and persist if not understood .....it's so liberating for the dog, who is already highly skilled at interpreting humans!

It clearly seems she’s self aware, although all dogs may not be, I’ve heard. Clearly way above average with everything!! Really good natured too. I never thought one day in my life I’d see dogs communicating by talking buttons about “strangers” instead of barking! I wish all dogs could do that so the neighbors would have a bit more peace! We and everyone were always “strangers” to the upstairs dog even after a year! Bunny would’ve figured out in 2 days we weren’t “strangers”. I wish I had Bunny for my neighbor! 😊

Maybe "dog cat want hi" could mean, she wants to talk to the cat and be friends with her, too? 🤔 I don't know if there is any footage of them "communicating"?
@johannageisel53903 жыл бұрын
There are several videos of young Bunny trying to play with the cats, but the cats are unwilling and possibly scared by the excited pup. After a while Bunny seems to realize that play with cat is not going to happen. There is one video when she expresses via buttons that she wants to play with one cat but when the cat doesn't react, Bunny presses "later". Then there is the phase of "cat bye" and being afraid of the cats (particularly Uni, the orange one). In one video Uni sits next to Bunny's toy and Bunny asks mom for help getting the toy. In another, Uni sits on the couch and Bunny is frustrated because she wants onto the couch, but the cat is already there. So, it seems that there is no good communication between Bunny and the cats.
