And what they ended up doing was they found, first of all, that there are...

types of sort of highly intelligent dogs.

Border Collies are one of them.

But then they found a lot of other breeds, including Pugs, that were these dogs known as label learner dogs.

And what they were able to show...

is if the dog knows the word for ball teddy bear and bone and you have those three objects in a room but then you have a fourth object which could be uh uh whatever a mouse a little toy mouse and you say hey david david's the dog in this case hey david get me the mouse and

I can do that.

Oh, no, you're talking about the dog.

Got it.

That's right.

The dogs in these categories, these super intelligent dogs, were able to say, well, I know what those three things are.

I don't know what mouse is.

There's the only object I don't know.

Let me get him that object.

Well, but that's how children learn, right?

When I first started to learn the language of Greek,

I did it via Rosetta Stone.

And Rosetta Stone, it literally just says, here's a ball, you know, Ebola.

It's just a picture of a ball and the word Ebola, which means the ball.

Not Ebola, which is a separate thing that you don't want.
