What is also very sad is all that humans haven't understood about dogs and other animals throughout the past. Forty years ago did I understand all that I do now? No. When I was growing up, one of my parents told me that animals don't reason, that they function purely by instinct, and while I know that instinctual knowledge plays a large role in what they do and why, they also reason, think and feel. There has been so much that people haven't understood. It must be very frustrating for them in trying to deal with humans. Animals all understand each other, including other species, whether friends, strangers or predators, they understand. But humans have largely been clueless, and corrupt. Both pets and animals in the wild know that many people are messed up, that they can't be trusted, that they're dangerous.

I love how your language with the dogs evolves in unexpected ways. Sometimes it's obvious, like using "tomorrow" as a synonym for future, as in, "big tomorrow," but some of it just comes out of nowhere. Like, of course they use "cat" as a synonym for a quadruped animal smaller than they are if Uni is their reference for what the button means.

@@ThePallidor Dogs are said to be as intelligent as a 2-3 year old, so I think it’s worth doing what you mentioned. When I trained my dogs to associate concepts with words, I talked to them the way Bunny’s owner talks to her, and I saw good results. They definitely understand certain things, but because they are animals, I think it’s important to not humanize them too much because their thought process is still pretty different, but it’d still be interesting to see how a dog’s intelligence could improve if form a young age they were treated like a 2-3 year old human intelligence-wise.

@@tiahnarodriguez3809 I worked with my very smart Great Dane/Akita (not neutered) Jack that way from the time he was a puppy, not with any buttons in those days, but I taught him the names of all of his belongings and anatomy, some of the names of our belongings, and names of activities and useful commands and descriptors. He was a Service Dog at home, very helpful, and well able to read people as to what they needed and their frame of mind, whether needing a hug or if someone was dangerous. I taught him more words every week while reviewing the former, and when he was five, I listed on paper all the words he understood, and for real, it was more than 20,000. He was very special.

with language, they are SO your 3 kids! LOL

I have a toy poodle. She doesn't button talk, but I did teach her to ring a bell to let me know when she needs to potty. The bell has become a quest to go outside to check things out. Sometimes, I have to interpret whether her bell is, "I need to potty, Mom" or "I want to go out to make sure everything outside is still ok!".

I love how it often looks like Bunny is just stepping on buttons on the way over the button pad, but you can tell she knows exactly where all her feet are going and planned every button hit (except for occasional accidents) because they do make sense together and with her actions, etc. It actually makes the communication through the buttons look more carelessly effortless than most humans could do it (take it from someone who has to use a text to speech app on an ipad to help me communicate due to disabilities and definitely couldn't make it look as carelessly effortless as Bunny does 😂)

Sending lots of love to you, Bunny, Otter, Tenrec and your whole family! ❤

I can’t wrap my head around some people honestly preferring to think that this dog is actively just pressing random buttons because he gets attention for it. Anyone with a basic comprehension of dogs can physically see the specific buttons and meanings behind them. Every single button press is with a purpose. I get that not all dogs are like bunny, but bunny is able to actually formulate specific thoughts and combine them. What sounds more believable? Dog who is able to create and combine thoughts and concepts to communicate, or dog that specifically presses certain buttons she ‘doesn’t know’ just for attention she doesn’t seem to get anything out of?

People who doubt that dogs and other animals are quite intelligent are honestly quite stupid themselves. It s been proven that chimpanzees have better memory than humans. My personal experience with animals has taught me that we underestimate animals in every way coz we understand very very little about them. It s not animals who are stupid but humans.

Otter bye 😂😂😂😂😂

I hope Bunny stays safe while the mysterious dog illness is going around. I'm not sure if you're in one of the states/areas where the illness is spreading, but might be best to stay safe either way until it's under control.

My Yorkie was so smart that I believe she could have used the buttons. One time I noticed when I said the word shoe she looked at my feet. She would go to the appropriate places when I said the words. However, she wasnt always obedient. She was smart and we loved her.

OMG!!!! Who says animals don't think!!! I have had a cat who was spooky smart and could respond to me.

HI- I hope you get to this comment because, like Bunny, I had 'poop ouch- for years on and off. I was told it was this, that and the other, even had xrays- eventually a CT Scan showed a piece of metal trapped in my colon. Dogs eat all sorts of things- apparently so do I.... anyway- I was very very very ill when they eventually found it. Just something to consider- as no doctor even thought of it with me. Hope she feels better. Poop ouch is bad.

She used the "???" Button !

Ask him if he’s conscious. Ask if he knows something that you don’t.

A lot of these clips are from different time periods. Tenrec was kept separate when he was first introduced to the household to reduce any territorial issues and give both him and Bunny separation, its a common socialisation practise. We haven't seen yet whether he'll fully transition to downstairs, or if he's allowed downstairs but doesn't want to, or spends time downstairs but hasn't been downstairs when Bunny/Otter say interesting enough things.

I've watched tons of these videos and had planned to possibly get some buttons for my red heeler. But I just taught her to ding a little bell when she wants to go outside and she dings it constantly and I have to tell her no most of the time. I think I've already created a monster so maybe the buttons would be too much for me to handle. Currently we are waiting 10 minutes for muffins to come out of the oven before we can go out. 10 minutes is too long.
