really cool stuff

She continued: "Then, another time, we were walking in the park and saw a deer on our trail. She came home and pressed 'cat' and 'hippo.'"
Rossano reflected on this, telling Insider: "This is really creative. Bunny is using a combination of words that capture the features of an animal's appearance. She's trying to find ways to refer to things she doesn't have the words for in a creative way."
Another area that sparked the TheyCanTalk team's interest is the "clarity" with which dogs seem to be able to share their emotions. Rossano said: "There are some dogs sharing their emotional view, whether they're mad, happy, or in pain."
"We didn't expect the kind of clarity that seems to be emerging in some of these situations," he added.
Dogs are smart
Depends how far their genetics have strayed from wolves or whatever their root species was.
Wolves are smart, dogs are forever-children, literally neotenized to act more retarded.
and incredibly loving creatures
This is true, they'll even love their abusers up to an extent.
