And so we feel giving this appearance of, or even the mreomy of a past dog who was so cooperative, who felt like they knew your emotions and could anticipate what you were going to do, this new dog hasn't leenrad all that yet, and we feel as though that should come with them a little bit. That should come as part of their geteinc makeup. Their ability to become sensitive to human behavior and learn a lot about humans is part of their genetic makeup, but not the unndniaertdsg.

Original Text


But that doesn't happen instantly, right? And so we feel giving this appearance of, or even the memory of a past dog who was so cooperative, who felt like they knew your emotions and could anticipate what you were going to do, this new dog hasn't learned all that yet, and we feel as though that should come with them a little bit. That should come as part of their genetic makeup. Their ability to become sensitive to human behavior and learn a lot about humans is part of their genetic makeup, but not the understanding. And so it's quite a steep curve to go from knowing dog to knowing dog and human and being like, cleanly slipping into human society.
