Dog traits

1.Dogs are social and eventually understand there owners
2.Dogs are easily trained (depending on the dog) some may be challenging
3. Dogs are affectionate and loyal
4. If given the chance dogs might run away. Unless its like my dog which shegoes around the block and comes back…
5.Dogs save lives

Obviously a dog is smarter, its also proven the dog has the larger brain, though a dog isnt independent like the cat, its only because a dog is obidient and wants permission. A cat will do things because it can, a dog can be trained more tricks then a cat will ever be able too. Cats are more flexible and athletic, able to jump higher and reach thing that a dog cant does not make them smarter… TYVM XD

The dog is obviously doing conditioned tasks. Just like that fucking parrot that died a year or two ago. So this is really a comparison of intelligence to conditioning, which is completely unfair. It is incredibly annoying when a dog owner claims their dog is smarter than other dogs because it can do tricks. That is NOT intelligence, that is conditioning. Yes, it takes some intelligence to be trainable, but really not all that much.

Although I did have a feline roommate at one time, who potty-trained himself and about a third of the time could manage to flush the toilet – though he was insistent on trying to flush, even though it often enough ended up with him falling into the toilet, so make of it what you will…

I’m skeptical of the mathematics of the dog.

As Greg points out, this is an old trick that even very stupid animals are capable of. Taking even unconscious visual cues from stupid humans is really quite simple.
