Christina Hunger has the ability to ask her dog questions and it goes to press a button that represents the idea it wants to reply with. That button plays an English word through a speaker for Christina. She's a speech pathologist on Instagram and has a website for it. The dog learns word association in the same way babies do.

Those videos are on Instagram, not buried. I'm fairly sure any breakthroughs will make it to a Planet Earth documentary and we'll feel sad about it for a while then go buy beef from the shops anyway.

that's neat. i talk to my dog all the time. she (a rescue) came to me already knowing "do you wanna go out?" but had a really hard time teaching me when she had anxiety diarrhea and needed to go out. i really needed a button for that (she's mostly over it now though).
