| Re: are dogs capable of complex thoughts?? I agree with Carol Burke. I believe they are smarter than we give them credit for or most believe. I personally believe this about horses too. I also believe they have emotions that most will say they don't. If we could all speak dog, I think most of us would be surprised. And probably shocked at what they think of us humans!
I don't necessarily believe that they reason things out the exact way we do. But given the excellent examples so far, it's obvious they can reason certain things out and solve a problem.
Some might say well those are very few examples of things in a world over stuffed with dogs. However, how many don't we hear about? And if you think about humans, you have a few geniuses, most fall into the line of "average", and then the ones who make you slap your forehead and can be as dumb as a bag of rocks. Same, same :)
All just IMO, of course. |
