How Nazi Scientists Tried to Create an Army of Talking Dogs

:shrug:
They probably are pretty intelligent but the most? I dunno bout that one.

for a non-sapian mammal.

they outwitted all the other animals :)

They just don't speak your fucking language.

of course french dogs say ouaff and american dogs say woof, it can all be very confusing......

Surely dogs are more intelligent and loyal than your average tea party advocate if they can or cannot talk. The price of dog food would be about right for the corporate masters of the GOP and they would have the perfect excuse to treat their base like dogs. If faceless corporations can obtain person hood why not dogs at least they are alive?

The thought of obtaining heaven with Christian Republicans leads me to follow the observation of Will Rogers "I prefer to go where the dogs go".

they sure came up with some wacky ideas.

i have seen dogs trained to think who are able to learn a terrain, a mountainside, and then go flush out animals on it in such a manner that their master will have a clear shot without putting the dog at risk, find and lead their way back home, bark to signal problems, hell i have seen a dog notice a child struggling in water, grap an inflated inner tube by the rope tied to it and swim out to them before they went under the water, then pull the kid to shore and this is a dog i taught to swim but never trained to save anyone. the dog "knew" the 12 year old kid was in trouble and had breathed water and the dog noticed before the adults (we wondered why alfie had taken the inner tube), was able to think that the tube would help the kid, was able to take the tube by the rope so it would not break and was then able to pull the kid to shore. I have thought of dogs and most animals as capable of high level thinking since then, it blew my mind.

Take the f off of woof and you've got what these folks accomplished.
