Video Description:
A viral, online phenomenon claims to have further opened the door to human-canine communication. Buttons allow dogs to seemingly talk with their humans, but are all these button enthusiasts barking up the wrong tree? William Brangham and his pup Macy doggedly pursue the truth.

Interesting!!
I'm not sure I really want my companion animal "talking" to me.
Enough already let dogs be dogs
Very interesting!
Interesting study. I agree with the ASU person on this one. Good video, and gives you something to think about.
I agree with the guy from AZ State, we connect with their language, not they connect with ours. Dogs do recognize sounds when we speak. That is why you don't teach a dog German. But a dog in Germany will come to recognize "want a treat" in German because of how that sounds when you speak in German. It's the sound that they learn, not necessarily the word or phrase. A few buttons and you probably could teach them the queue to use for what they want. When you have four rows of how many across, no way. Dogs and cats cannot compose a sentence. All my opinion, of course.
Interesting though to watch. Let's just do the unconditional love and we are going to be just fine.
Unbelievable....Not sure if I would have the patients !!
I agree with the dog Psychologist. When my dog comes to me and stares into my eyes, I know he wants something. The way I find out what he wants is to go down the list of things I know he knows. When he gets excited and his tail starts wagging quickly and he starts jumping around or dancing, I know he wants what I just asked him.
cute but I'm not sure I have the patients. Good good luck to them tho'....
Good idea but needs a lot more research. Human voice and body language are still the best ways of communication with our four legged friends.
Very interesting video. We always knew that dogs are smart!
