It's like, you just don't know.

All you get is like, they say it and then you might get a hug or you might get a kiss or something.

So the reality is you never know for humans either whether they, what it really means.

What you know is the behavioral response that follows, right?

But what I definitely believe is that they can communicate.

And of course, they can try to communicate concepts at a level of granularity that might be different from what they

we can make sense of when they scratch the door or when they bark.

So imagine when your dog is barking, you know there's a problem, but you don't know what it is that they want.

But if they could tell you what the problem is, for example, there's a stranger outside, which usually is the Amazon delivery guy, maybe you actually know that it's not a big deal.
