Dogs and humans can clearly communicate. They recognise words and signal things they want all the time. And I don’t doubt the dog is pressing the buttons to interact with the owner. That is all pretty ordinary dog stuff, just with unusual equipment that makes it seem more exciting. But the dog is not forming sentences by pressing buttons in an intentional sequence. That would be awesome, but there is no evidence of that happening.
- ksenzee 3y agoSentences, in a grammatical sense? No. Intentionally using buttons as signifiers of a specific thing? I think pretty clearly yes. I don’t believe “why Bunny dog” is a deep philosophical question, or necessarily a question at all. It might just be “these are interesting buttons I am pushing for fun.” But “belly ouch” is pretty convincing communication, using words.
