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

That's right.

And then it would show me four balls.

Three of them are green.

One of them's red.

And it would say, this is the Kokino ball, red ball.

So I would, without anyone teaching me anything, without there being any English on the screen...

they could i could figure out that kokino means red you know so it's just a process of elimination and there are these dogs and again it's these sort of label learner dogs these these super intelligent dogs that are hyper focused on objects so that's the thing is they had to find breeds and dogs specifically that had this hyper focus almost obsessiveness

towards objects and grabbing objects and paying attention to objects.

So much so that they were never distracted by anything else, but they could learn over 100 terms.

The problem is, is do they learn like children?

Maybe like toddlers, yes.

But then, of course, children then start to learn at about two years old, they start to learn 10 words a day.

And they start to understand the children how to formulate sentences.

Yeah.

Or they actually excel children at the beginning.

I mean, a nine month old child is not really going to grasp the concept of more than a couple of toys, let's say.

You know, they're they're really learning how to stand and, you know, how to how to how to I don't know.

eat, what happens when the airplane comes into the aircraft with the little marmalade on it or whatever, the baby pablum on it.

But a nine-month-old dog already knows a whole bunch of commands, and you could teach a nine-month-old a lot of these sort of objects.
