Bunny And The Mysterious Case of The Stranger In The House - Bunny The "Talking" Dog 

Can you imagine if there really was a stranger in your house, and you have to causally explain to the police that your dog can talk and was the one who told you lol

Holy cow what an epic demonstration of “oops”!! Like I’m not crazy right? She comprehended that she made a judgement, and that that judgement was incorrect, and considered it relevant to comment on it, she didn’t HAVE to say anything, she doesn’t accomplish anything by acknowledging her mistake, but she did anyway! “Oops!” BRO

"Oops" at the end got me 😁😁😁

I love how she genuinely had a “What was that noise upstairs” paranoia, but also acknowledged it

Imagine in the middle of the night and all you hear is 'stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger ' coming from downstairs

That "Oops was the most mind-blowing thing for me, because it just feels like it shows a really comprehensive understanding of both the situation, and what "Oops" means. That's a weird concept to try and teach a dog, and the fact that Bunny used it *Correctly*, exactly as it is supposed to be used, it really cool. Bunny Gets it, even more than I keep expecting watching these videos.

“There’s a stranger in the home?” Bunny’s head nods ever so slightly lol

The scariest thing about this video is when you walked out onto the roof directly from your bedroom window and there was no railing

can you imagine how terrifying it would be for your dog to suddenly tell you: "stranger home upstairs" when you know you're the only one who is supposed to be home? idk i'd freak a bit

She uses 'stranger' for 'unknown'. (ow, stranger, paw) . You said, 'where stranger?' and she looked outside, considering. Was the sound she heard outside? 'home', she says. 'concerned, upstairs'. _you're_ the one who said 'inside the home'. My totally unscientific take on this, she heard something on the roof. And maybe had no way of saying/conveying/understanding there is another level of up from upstairs. Edit: since this video, another video came out that showed bunny understood 'upstairs' to man anything above her eye level. The cat, on its shelf, is 'upstairs', something on the kitchen counter is 'upstairs'. If there was something on the roof, with the words she had to work with and what she knew, it was a perfect sentence, conveying what she thought.

Imagine Bunny pointing to a dark corner of the house

Maybe there was a mouse in the wall or a squirrel on the roof or something!

At this rate Bunny will have a bigger voc...voca... At this rate Bunny will know more words than I.

Horrifying like honestly horror movie level

Bunny WAS RIGHT!!! Dogs hear so much better than us!!! The stranger was a black bird. Bunny was 'showing', that it was outside! Probably at some point it landed upstairs on upper floor. When you opened door upstairs, we could hear the call of the blackbird that was chaced away by your appearance! Bunny always knows best. I wonder how much she is frustrated when YOU cannot understand :-)))

That a dog can tell their “owner” that they are concerned there may be an intruder upstairs and then when they realise they got it wrong with that “Oops”... I’m truly blown away.

That one dislike is from the stranger who’s plot was foiled by Bunny 😂

Omg, that "Oops' melted my heart

Not AGAIN, Bunny! There needs a be a horror movie about this. If there was a real intruder, you'd have to tell them to hang on a few while Bunny is thinking of her next words.

This dog is better at acknowledging her mistakes than my family, omg

Omg I can't imagine. How I would react to that. Especially once she pressed "concerned".I would just run out of the house. How do you even teach words like that? She smart.

if my dog actually said "concerned upstairs", I'd still be looking lol

Ok, that "oops" floored me. I knew it. I knew they communicate on a higher level than the credit humans give them. I'm one of those people that pick up others emotions and I have sworn my dog gets cheeky at times.

You get how amazing it is that she presses buttons instead of BARKING???

the oops killed me

I can almost hear the gears turning as Bunny thinks. Then the "oops"??? She's hilarious!

Omg the oops killed me. This dog is incredible!

1:11 okay but this scared me like what if she fell off 😭😭

Oh my lord she's so smart. She's so so smart. And since she can hear things that humans can't she probably hears things outside or in the walls that she thinks are inside the house and then needs to alert her humans. No wonder dogs bark so much, they hear so much, they smell so much, they're aware of so much more than we are and that's the only way they can tell us about it!

We all know it's a ghost, right? We've all decided that. It's a ghost.

That "oops" blows my mind ♥️🐰

Maybe she just hears birds on the roof, or pests between the walls/floors' space?

That shot of her blinking after you said "it's all good" lol

I think it would be fascinating to see if Bunny could “translate” for another dog.

"Oops" lol

Amazing. She’s inspirational. Seriously. She’s gonna be the poster child for seeing the cognitive abilities of dogs in an entirely new light. She’s proving what all of us dog parents always knew, but science didn’t back us up.

I totally thought she was talking about the orange toy she nosed. Like someone had come to visit and left it for her and she was like, "But MOM they left this behind!" 😁

That "oops" caught me off guard. Sitcom punchline type of stuff.

Lmao, oops! I thought this was about the "stranger" in her paw that one time haha

My new favorite RU-vid channel ! I know that the jury is out on whether Bunny is cognisant and is communicating with intent, but to me , that controversy takes second place to her actual behavior. I also enjoy seeing a dog that's being treated respectfully and properly; with frequent exercise, stimulation, enrichment and interaction. But I would absolutely love to read a peer reviewed paper concluding that Bunny is talking :)

I love the oops!😂

I stumbled across these videos of Bunny and her family only just recently and now I cannot stop watching them. I love it so much! Oops!

Sweet protective Bunny on guard duty❣️ Oops! 😍

She’s the cutest doggy ever 🥰

Holy moly. This whole interaction is amazing. How do you even teach a dog the concept of oops?

These videos are absolutely fascinating

My standard poodle does this to me all the time. I have to walk him around the house and go from room to room. He’s not satisfied until I open all closets and we look in every nook.

I just adore Bunny. What a sweetie.

that 'oops' made me wheeze omg I'm crying, such a smart doggo

That “oops” had me rolling on the floor

Aw that little stress yawn she did at 0:51 before saying 'Concerned'

Omg. The blinking and thinking and “oops” at the end. She is toooo much! Also very impressed with the “concerned” too!! Amazing.

Thing is, dogs are far more aware than us humans. It probably was a rodent in the walls or a bird on the roof. There -was- something there, but in this case it was harmless. Never doubt your dog's acute awareness of their surroundings. They have lived with us humans for ages because they helped us primitive people survive the unknown, weird, and wild by alerting us to all possible threats to their family. Its for this reason, I will always trust my dogs above any person alive.

Just like Jenna and Julien's Bunny, this Bunny can also detect spirits.

I love that we are finally getting proof of what dog lovers have known all along, that dogs understand much of what we say to them. I’ve always talked to my animals and felt sure they understood much of what I was saying. Now we have cats and dogs talking to us with our own words and I see how we have been talking with each other all along. Dogs totally have a sense of humor and they take their guarding responsibilities so seriously. Bless their little hearts.

As others have said, Bunny's definition of "Stranger" and "Upstairs" do not directly correlate with how we understand those words. To Bunny, ""Stranger" does not mean "unknown human", but something like "unknown presence" perhaps. Likewise, Bunny's understanding of "Upstairs" is just "above her", and i don't know whether that definition is fixed or varies based on her own location at any given moment (e.g. whether the upper floor of your house ceases to be "Upstairs" when she is there). Bunny's understanding of "Home", "Mom", and "Concerned" seem to be more closely mapped to our own understanding of those words, though. "Home" is "place where we live away from outside", and is fairly concrete, except that "Home" does not necessarily mean "indoors", as Bunny's understanding of "Home" could extend to the environment around your home (especially if Bunny doesn't know where, precisely, something is). "Concerned" could mean "Alert" or "Worried", but the broader connotation is "I am aware of something possibly being amiss". "Mom" is clearly just "You", and is simple enough. When Bunny says "Mom. Stranger. Home. Concern. Upstairs.", that doesn't necessarily mean "Mom, i think there's a stranger in the house and i'm worried about it.". It could also mean "Mom, i heard something around the house; i don't know what it is, and it's bothering me.". In this case, as others have said, Bunny may have heard a bird on the roof, and - not knowing how else to describe the sound - simply described it as "stranger [at] home". As for the "Oops"... i really don't know what to think of it. It might be an admission of error on her part, or a jibe at you for not properly understanding her (i.e. she's saying that _you_ made a mistake). It could be something else entirely. However, i don't think it was random. After watching enough of these videos, i think that - with only a few exceptions - Bunny chooses her words before she "speaks". She had some reason to push the "Oops" button, even if we're not sure why.

My family has two boisterous labs and four cats I can't imagine the cacophony there would be if they all could talk 😂

I love her sweetness!! She's literally an 😇

I love how easy it is to communicate and (i feel bad for this phrasing) how human her thought process is. Particularly the oops at the end! She understands that there wasnt anyone but i love that you have the patience to check all the rooms with her and validate her xx

she is almost reading the labels on the buttons. truly inspiring.

Aww "oops". But this is incredible, seeing her expressing all of that. Especially the oops. Dogs and cats hear all sorts of things we don't hear or don't hear very well, she must get worried a lot.

“Thank you for be on the alert and always looking out for us, Bunny!”

omg, i dont know what funnier. the look she gave after looking both ways or the oops! the intelligence of this dog to convey emotion and understanding is just amazing. this is the content you need if you are having a bad day. also, who the fck would dislike this? how could this channel get any dislikes at all honestly? we need to find these 65 people and move them to an island where no one can hear their input ever again.

Woah, these are such complex concepts that she understands, like, I feel like “concerned” is such a niche concept for a dog to get like that.

Omg that was amazing

omggggggg my blood went cold

Almost like when my cat stares at a blank place in a room. Something there that isn't...? Except my cat never tells me, "Oops".

I just had to wake my mom up and tell her about what Bunny just said. She thought it was amazing and hilarious at the same time.

When there's a creak or unexplained noise in my house, my dog alerts me to it.

Omg this dog is the smartest and cutest doggo to ever walk the earth! Poodles of any kind are my favorite!

the 'oops' was the icing on the cake

A good shepherd looking after her flock ☺️

Maybe the house is haunted and the strangers she’s sensing are ghosts.

She might have heard someone on the beach, the door was open upstairs. I have had my windows open and the neighbors sound like they’re in my bathroom

You & 'Dad' deserve serious kudos & respect for your diligence, patience, commitment & deep love you have with Bunny. ALL OF US would dearly love to have a 'talking' pet but few of us have the time, patience or the $ to make it happen. Good job Mom & Dad! 😘 👍 Also, a shoutout to the unsung hero who invented this button setup. What a wonderful vision that thanks to their hard work has brought so much joy not only into your home but also the hearts of those who get to watch. Thank you for sharing with us. 😍

But I remember Mad, Ouch, Stranger, Paw

If we combine these events with those of the “Ouch, Stranger!” video, it seems possible that Bunny uses the word “stranger” to mean “something out of place”. Is there any way to tell if she has separated the concepts “creature” and “object/thing” into different words?

I trust their hearing. Sometimes, things shift upstairs or downstairs, and they hear it. I search for a while, and eventually find what they heard,

I love watching bunny. I've constantly been showing my wife these videos. I've always thought animals think like we do but not with words and seeing the wheels turn in bunny's head makes me appreciate even more the animals around me.

I just about lost my mind when bunny said "oops"

'strangers' can be objects for her. At 1:35 the the dripping sound. Might be she wondered what that is?

No tailwag, she was serious

That “oops” was heartfelt what a sweet smart pup you got ❤

One of the best videos EVER of Bunny. EVER. It just shows her personality so much. "Oops". My favorite. God.

It was the “oops”!!

I was walking over to my dog once at home because she started growling at this one corner for seemingly no reason and all of a sudden she started wining like crazy and I felt a massive punch to the stomach. My dad came running out and he said he was hit on the head. My mom called the police but we never found anything. I also looked down where I had been hit and the whole area was bruised. My dog did her job though and thankfully wan’t hurt. She’s a good girl for warning us of whatever that was.

Awwww....the oops at the end 😭😭😭😭and her gaze....so cute

Bunny has more integrity than our government.

I'm outlining a horror novel, and I literally wrote this as the first scene about a month ago.

I'm waiting for a Netflix series on this. A lot of great potential from Bunny...

I have not been able to watch bunny for about ten months. The amount of improved cognitive ability is astounding. Was he playing a trick on you or having a psychological fear? Either is an unbelievable breakthrough in intelligence. Amazing

I just love her and her poofy tail.

Bunny's so adorable! I was just wondering, where do you get buttons like this?

picture this it’s the middle of the night you’re home alone with bunny. you hear some footsteps, but ignore them as you think it’s bunny, ten minutes later you can’t sleep; looking to your side you see bunny, the whole time it was next to you. bunny suddenly gets up, and presses the button ‘stranger,’ repeatedly.

The whole thing was awesome, but the "oops" made me laugh so much. What a sweet girl.

That "oops" in the end is the best.

Genuinely curious: how do you teach a dog to communicate an abstract feeling like concern? Training em to communicate physical objects and places is one thing, but how do you create the relationship between that feeling and a word? Just spam it when they’re worried?

Can this develop to "Home alone with bunny"- A nerve-wracking 2021 horror/thriller?

"Oops" I love it. She is so adorable 😊

These videos make me smile! Thank you for sharing. Oops was hilarious!
