Same. Dont quote me on this but I believe there were a couple studies on animal sentience, that is, if they are capable of abstract thinking and communicating to or near the level humans do. I believe there was one done on apes. The issue was that the researchers felt that they couldnt be certain that the answer was yes because in their study, the apes never really questioned anything, and it seems that the apes didnt even consider that humans may not know everything. I really want to see more studies being done because I think many animals are smarter than they appear to be. Perhaps some are capable of thinking philosophically and we dont know yet.
Bunny once asked: "Why do you love me?" to which she replied "Because we are friends." Bunny the asked "What is love?" These is something profound in the fact they can discuss abstract concepts such as love and friendship.
@@hightowergaming5301 I saw the video that you're talking about. It is amazing, and almost kind of moving in a way when she asked her owner why she loved her....
how is it asking questions? the "what" button could have any other soundeffect on and could have any meaning to the dog, the owners give certain buttons their personal meaning and it's on them to interpret the dogs actions. The dog could think whatever about any of the buttons. It can't press the "go outside" button sarcastically or symbolically. It can't use the soundeffects to describe something completely different than the responses it has been taught. there is no meaning. I doubt you could even rearrange the buttons. I mean there are words like "friends" or "love" on it, now let's be serious. The dog is just performing tricks and not using language, no matter how cute.
All these new videos of dogs and cats learning to use buttons has really changed how I think of their sentience. I already knew they were thinking, caring creatures, but I guess I always thought they lived in the moment through feelings. I never quite considered just how thoughtful they could be.
The gorilla telling handlers the story of losing his mom to poachers through sign language is another one of those eye openers. Dogs and gorilla's are on different levels when it comes to sentience, but still.
I love your honesty, your skepticism, the fact it could be our ego. Also I love what you said that they’re not learning a new language but that they’ve been saying it all along.
I think "go outside" "treat" and "toy" are the best ones... The others come with mystery, ego, luck and your own creativity. It just "seems" like they are communicating...

I love when she said it as it is about how she’s a hopeful skeptic and that if it’s what it is. It just shows that she actually knows what she’s doing and what’s going on.
I don't think anyone appreciated how smart a dog really can be or just how deeply they love and care for us until we gave them the opportunity to speak to us in a way we can most easily understand.

@@drdream123 I'm not sure what's the problem with that. We make mistakes too and we edit them out. Pets make mistakes and we use that to hate and start debating? Really? Come on. Even if they do, it must help them with their lives somehow, pretty cool, isn't it?
For Halloween we got some extra buttons that said "I want to murder you", and "You will die tonight". Our dog ended up freaking us all out by selecting these buttons !
Yes, wonderful point: animals talk all the time and did so as long as we do - only use other language means as we do. The use of buttons are an extraordinary idea!
We have not been listening! They were always communicating but humans think that we are on top and every other living thing is at the bottom yet let’s look at the tiny COVID virus and the terror it has created. Awesome work she is doing in bringing more awareness 🤩🥰🙏
This is just like those ape language studies in the 1960’s. The dog isn’t really communicating in the sense of how we talk, it’s responding to stimuli provided by her owner. It’s no different than you teaching your dog that “sit” means to sit down. It can learn to associate certain words with outcomes but the owner is doing most of the interpretation, which is obviously biased.
Input/output communication is how toddlers and small children learn how to talk. Sure, the animal's owner may have some bias in how intelligent their dog actually is, but there is still a level of communication going on here. Think about the complexities of animals body language. It's not too much of a stretch to think that they can associate/express some of those body language cue through buttons, and use input/output variables like "outside" "potty" "play" in relatively basic combinations to form basic phrases on the same level as say a 1 1/2 to 2 y/o, depending on when you start to train your dog based on the button format
You could say the EXACT same about humans then. We are just organisms. Just animals. That’s exactly how humans learn language too. There is nothing special about our species, sorry to break it to you bud. That kind of outlook on life will only make you unhappy. Wake up.
This is incredibly scientific and not at all edited, and didn't require any hopeful inferences to be made by the owner at all, the dog was generally just curious about the barge on the water and wanted to chat about it, come on people.
Isn't she though? Her black & white markings are so adorable and she is just a pure and delicate soul. I think Otter is cute, too, but Bunny is simply personality plus... So charming.
"We haven't been listening." That's so true - countless dogs are frustrated because their owners just don't get what they're communicating. They understand us and probably think we're real dumb animals!
Unfortunately, that’s not how that works. The only way for the parents to pass on their ability is through teaching. Dogs pressing buttons is not instinctual. All of these dogs are smart, and intelligence is the only thing that would be able to be passed on to offspring.
"I would love for the greatest takeaway to be not that our dogs can talk, but that they've already been saying it all along and we just haven't been listening."
Its 1010% your ego. Yes the dog can remember VAGUELY what each button will illicit in you, but thats about it. It just remembers things like "this button got me treats" and "this one got me pets".
I’ve always tried to “listen” to my pets behaviors and forum a vocabulary they’re familiar with. I love all animals, even the ones that might kill me. They all have a purpose. ♥️
I've noticed that all the animals I have ever had, and presently have communicate very well using body motions, facial expressions and unique vocal expressions. But I do find this technique very interesting.

Plot twist, the cute dog has started training the lady to speak in the dog's language. She now hast 23 buttons to convey to the dog her feelings in his language. One button that is missing is the "NO!" button.

If the dog has randomly trod on "where", doubtlessly owner would've claimed that the dog was trying to find a lost object.
Read the brain signals given off when Bunny thinks about each word to press, and then you could make a device that reads bunny's thoughts and says the words without needing buttons.
@@zappy2000 Maybe haha. It might be possible with an external EEG. So it wouldn't be harmful. But I'm currently too sleep deprived to think about neuroscience. Goodnight friendo :)
I'm fascinated! Where do your buttons come from? I mean are they your voice on them or are they a generic voice? Do the icons on the buttons represent categories that she can go to? I should think that your voice would be more meaningful..
You press a button on the bottom and then it records and replays whatever you say :) I believe she later made the custom stickers to keep them apart for her and the dog, but also just having them colour coded and in the same spots each time helps!
Our Doberman showed me my Xbox powerbox light by her crate was keeping her up by pointing her nose and my Xbox controller light, whimpered, then pointed her nose at the power box, whimpered, then to her crate where there was a gap in the blankets and light bled through. My Pitbull (a rescue) saw me throwing her "land mines" into the woods and started "dumping her packages" along the treeline so I didn't have to walk back and forth.
Basic dog training if you had a button that said food and every time the dog pressed it they where given food of corse they will press it every time they need food this is basic dog training, another button for a walk then they will press to go for a walk if that’s what you associate the bottom with
well that’s it i think, they have been talking all along. Water buffalo rescues turtle, Beluga whale notices girl looses phone overboard and swims down and retrieves it returning to the person who dropped it. Dog gets in way of car and won’t move until driver gets and and dog leads driver to endangered cat. It’s more of consciousness sharing then talk. Humans seems to only use it in dreams if and only if they pay attention to their dreams. Dreams can communicate messages, you need to learn the picture meaning of the symbols, the more you practice the more relative the symbology of the symbols and confirmation communication exist. with whom you might think, well, those who are no longer in physical body.
People seem to think animals aren’t smart and don’t understand us… just because they can’t talk or communicate that well doesn’t mean they don’t understand what’s happening around them
I taught my dog how to choose between my two hands. Yes or no. and also are you a good boy or a bad boy. (since he already knows the context of the two based on his dicipline and rewards.) He always chooses good boy. But the first time he chose bad boy was when he got in trouble for something. He was reprimanded and was doing the classic "guilty dog" look. He was asked and he chose bad boy. I already knew dogs were intelligent and aware, but that really shocked me, and honestly kind of freaked me out lol. I now I ask the question alot, and he chooses bad when he knows I am upset at him for something. I just started transitioning to buttons and he's using the "treat" and "yes" button often lol. Dogs are truly sentient, intelligent creatures who are so connected to us, even through our forms of communication now.
I have been using buttons I got off Amazon and when I saw what this person was using I checked them out. Expensive!!! Cute colors but damn, I’ll stick to my diy ones.
John Pilley taught Chaser toy names many years ago, I believe your button system has too much complexity or too many choices for initial communication, start with mastering one button at a time.
Love this! And you are so right! I’m a “ person” to my pure breed German Shepard.. who I know can understand me.. and I understand her.. where can I get these and did you start using only one word until she got it”?
The fact that the animal seems to be asking questions is what most interest me.

Getting these for one of my cats because I honestly want to know what he's thinking at 3 am WHEN HE'S RUNNING AROUND YOWLING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS
He wants to play
I love you. It is not ego but to gain a better understanding so we can give even more!!
so smart and cute...
Read the brain signals given off when Bunny thinks about each word to press, and then you could make a device that reads bunny's thoughts and says the words without needing buttons.
Wait...would something like that work?
@@zappy2000 Maybe haha. It might be possible with an external EEG. So it wouldn't be harmful.
But I'm currently too sleep deprived to think about neuroscience.
Goodnight friendo :)
Someone send Elon Musk this youtube video.
I'm fascinated! Where do your buttons come from? I mean are they your voice on them or are they a generic voice? Do the icons on the buttons represent categories that she can go to? I should think that your voice would be more meaningful..
You press a button on the bottom and then it records and replays whatever you say :) I believe she later made the custom stickers to keep them apart for her and the dog, but also just having them colour coded and in the same spots each time helps!
You can get them on Amazon. They record up to 7 seconds of voice. We are currently doing this with our two GS’s.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! 😍
Fascinating.
Our Doberman showed me my Xbox powerbox light by her crate was keeping her up by pointing her nose and my Xbox controller light, whimpered, then pointed her nose at the power box, whimpered, then to her crate where there was a gap in the blankets and light bled through.
My Pitbull (a rescue) saw me throwing her "land mines" into the woods and started "dumping her packages" along the treeline so I didn't have to walk back and forth.
Basic dog training if you had a button that said food and every time the dog pressed it they where given food of corse they will press it every time they need food this is basic dog training, another button for a walk then they will press to go for a walk if that’s what you associate the bottom with
The dog literally asked if it’ll die and asked the owner if she loved her
well that’s it i think, they have been talking all along. Water buffalo rescues turtle, Beluga whale notices girl looses phone overboard and swims down and retrieves it returning to the person who dropped it. Dog gets in way of car and won’t move until driver gets and and dog leads driver to endangered cat. It’s more of consciousness sharing then talk. Humans seems to only use it in dreams if and only if they pay attention to their dreams. Dreams can communicate messages, you need to learn the picture meaning of the symbols, the more you practice the more relative the symbology of the symbols and confirmation communication exist. with whom you might think, well, those who are no longer in physical body.
"Pull"
"My"
"Finger"
People seem to think animals aren’t smart and don’t understand us… just because they can’t talk or communicate that well doesn’t mean they don’t understand what’s happening around them
That made me cry and miss my dog :-(
I think this is just humans super-translating.
I just saw a youtube short with this dog!
I love your dog
What do you mean, at the end “we haven’t been listening”? Of course we have. Mankind has always wanted to communicate with animals.
I taught my dog how to choose between my two hands. Yes or no. and also are you a good boy or a bad boy. (since he already knows the context of the two based on his dicipline and rewards.) He always chooses good boy. But the first time he chose bad boy was when he got in trouble for something. He was reprimanded and was doing the classic "guilty dog" look. He was asked and he chose bad boy. I already knew dogs were intelligent and aware, but that really shocked me, and honestly kind of freaked me out lol. I now I ask the question alot, and he chooses bad when he knows I am upset at him for something.
I just started transitioning to buttons and he's using the "treat" and "yes" button often lol. Dogs are truly sentient, intelligent creatures who are so connected to us, even through our forms of communication now.
I have been using buttons I got off Amazon and when I saw what this person was using I checked them out. Expensive!!! Cute colors but damn, I’ll stick to my diy ones.
Now if only millennials could communicate with humans this well.
The universal language is love
Very cool what you did for your dog.
John Pilley taught Chaser toy names many years ago, I believe your button system has too much complexity or too many choices for initial communication, start with mastering one button at a time.
Love this! And you are so right! I’m a “ person” to my pure breed German Shepard.. who I know can understand me.. and I understand her.. where can I get these and did you start using only one word until she got it”?
