This dog is aware about her surroundings. She realized she’s different from her owner from her perspective, her mother and her family are all different. This can cause depression mainly because now they realize that they’re different because slowly as she was doing all these tasks and making sentences and the mother and father responded now realizing that she is different can affect mental health.
@MrFancy699 well as someone who watches their videos it definitely seems that bunny gets anxiety and sad and talks a lot about how everyone is different. The cat they had, and her brother and the new little cute dog that she thought was a cat
I completely understand how u feel. I think about my baby passing away too :/.I’m not ready. He’s 7 but he still looks like a puppy and is as energetic as ever lol thank God. I know God will provide him a long life :).
Bunny is on medication for General Anxiety Disorder, not depression due to being self aware. Many dogs get given anxiety meds who arent using talking buttons. Also, much research has been done that proves dogs are already self aware, sentient beings.
I think that a dog’s sentience is transient, and that a high level of it probably actually correlates with good quality of life. Sometimes animals may be quite self-aware, and personified- especially when they are encountered in uncanny or storylike experiences. But other times they might be more given to the more abstract experiential design unique to their species. This is a blurry line. While we often tend to personify abstract animalistic behaviors and experiences, there are so many real connections to humanity and universal principles in animals. This is especially true with domesticated mammals as far as loving bonds go. There are so many ways to emotionally and communicatively connect with dogs, or any animal for that matter. God guides those of us who have good in our hearts and a desire for truth and connection to foster it in as many ways as we can. Our connection to life around us and life itself is first and foremost deep and beautiful. Yeah, life is also bleak, brutal, and terrifying. Realizing the impossible scope of it all and taking these things hand in hand is hard. We are made in the image of God to have reign over the Earth but only so many of us truly understand and appreciate our connection to it. And some of us are led by Him to perform feats great and small including connecting with animals. I don’t think many dogs that are especially self-aware are worse off for it. I know for sure that their capacity for self-awareness as well as their general well-being correlates highly with their owner’s. A self-aware owner is more likely to create a loving and intimate bond with their animal the same way abusive or neglectful owners who lack self-awareness, perceptiveness, empathy, selflessness, and/or the means to provide often have dogs that are more behaviorally problematic.
Bunny also asked where did her dad go poo. Bunny was absolutely done when the answer was the bathroom. Bunny then asked why she poo outside. Tripped me out. I can believe she is depressed. She has been really done with animal/ human.
She wasn’t depressed if you gave your dog buttons and taught them then they would have questions too. She wasn’t on anti depressants either she was on pain relievers
Reminds me about the chimp story where a chimp was literally raised like a human child her entire life and one day, she was suddenly put into an enclosure with a male chimp that wanted to mate and she became freaked out. She later became incredibly depressed after realizing that she was not human. Luckily, she was put into a rehabilitation facility in the gambia and she returned babk into the wild. Unfortunately, however, she was killed by a poacher a few years later. Edit: I reread her story again and she wasn't released back into the wild. She lived with other chimps that weren't suitable to be rehabilitated like her. And the fact that she was killed by a poacher was concluded by Janis Carter, her care giver who returned back to the facility after a year and found her skeleton with missing hands and a head separated from the body. It was already in an advanced state of decomposition so there was no definite way to tell what had killed her. Sometimes my memory is just worse than a goldfish's 💀 🤦
@nahmyturn or look up the story of Travis the chimp a similar situation but much more tragic in the end, a rich couple ended up growing this chimp for 10+years like a human, would let it dress in kid clothes, feed it regular food, and even let it interact with the local police department. But some years down the road the husband in the relationship ends up passing and the woman trying to console Travis in some way gave him Xannax, which would ultimately end in Travis tearing the owners friend who tried to help into pieces, her face was unrecognizable until there was surgery to replace her facial tissue to even make a face.
I remember seeing a video where she said "Ouch, Bunny, Paw" with the buttons. Owner called her over, Bunny lifted up her paw and there was a thorn in it. That dog is incredibly intelligent.
This isn't really what happened. Bunny isn't on anti depressants, she has a stomach issue that she has been medicated for since before the talking videos started. She had maybe 2 instances where she seemed to question her existence a bit but that was a long time ago and since then she's just grown smarter and is still as happy as can be. I saw this video last night and investigated only to find that it was blown way out of proportion for views. I shouldn't be surprised at all.
Was going to say, I follow them and the only thing I’ve seen was her stomach issues and her maybe acting a little depressed, because she wasn’t feeling well….but who doesn’t act a bit disinterested when they have an upset stomach!
Exactly! I have a Psychology degree and I've worked in non-human primate cognition at the world's second largest primate research facility. As super intelligent as chimpanzees are, even they have cognitive limitations, so for a dog to be having an existential crisis is a bit of a stretch. Sometimes we misinterpret animal's behaviors, facial expressions, vocalizations, etc, so thank you for the context and clarification.
@@lisamenard694dogs also cannot pass a mirror test. This isn’t possible for the dog to recognize itself in the mirror. It’s not aware that it itself is a dog. Though this isn’t to say dogs aren’t smart.
The context of the short is a perfect example of how misinformation is made and spread! For context the medicine button bunny uses is due to GI issues. Her mom introduced the medicine she needed to give her and would let her know when it was time for the medicine. Since the dog began to correlate feeling better once given the medicine or recognized the time(if ur dog is on a routine they will ask for dinner with the prescence) So bunny would push medicine to remind her mom or if she felt unwell she would ask for medicine
The medicine clearly wasn’t the point. It was the fact that bunny was asking about herself… if you don’t have any valid information just 🤫 Clearly anyone watching this found interest in the dog wanting to know why she’s a dog. You went a rant about the medicine like that was the point. Clearly you only watched to respond you did not at all grasp the context of the short. Say you just want to be right without saying it. This video didn’t spread misinformation because it wasn’t worth spreading in the first place. If you are running around showing and sharing this video with ppl to make your point you’re weird. Take a chill pill 💊
@@glowdoll183I’m not gonna lie, you’re a sheep. Because quite literally they make it a point in the short to talk about how bunny asked for medicine because it was becoming depressed by its awareness. Not saying this can’t happen to animals but the OP gave you background information to what ACTUALLY happened….
@@glowdoll183They literally started off talking about the medicine and said it’s depression medication when it’s not. Bunny asks questions like that pretty often even asking why Dads a man and stuff like that these two literally lied due to misinformation. The medicine button wasn’t recently added like they said it’s been there since toward the end of the Pandemic. No ones ranting just saying the video is misinformed af because it is…like most of their shorts. Buddy on the right literally started overacting just from hearing the dog takes medication before even hearing what it was for like it’s impossible for pets to take medicine and was barely listening just reacting and both of them are wrong anyway.🤷🏾♂️
Everyone saying we shouldnt teach dogs to talk or we make them depressed is really missing out on the idea that these dogs already have these thoughts, we just gave them the ability to communicate
yk he was just questioning his own existence. you can say you looked in the mirror as a kid and say "Why am I human?" or "Why do I look like this?" keep in mind dogs have the mindset of a toddler
Sometimes I think why I see myself in my perspective, or what it's like to live from someone's perspective and why did my soul picked this consciousness
Poodles are naturally very anxious dogs. I had to put my labradoodle on an anti-anxiety probiotic when my older dog passed because he was so depressed. He will also stare into the oven door because he likes his reflection.
My pit acts human like a lot and even speaks in her own way sometimes by pointing or making noises similar to actual words . N to be honest I find it pretty cool . She’s my bestfriend and protects my family with her life so I’m glad she’s aware and smart . I wouldn’t dare try to take that ability away from her unless it’s affecting her health. But she’s a good and happy dog n im glad to know my dog isn’t the only one that’s aware like this .
She became aware of her own problems. Bunny always had anxiety that’s why she asked so many questions. My dog has anxiety. She doesn’t have buttons but I ask her if she needs help and she will respond only when she does need help.
@@denisetrivette4423 She's discovering the world. The answers are simple, she doesn't understand what it all means because she doesn't have the answers, so how could she be depressed when she is only making observations? You believe this consciousness makes Bunny more human, and Humans don't poop outside. It's inhuman to make an animal poop outside if they resemble Humans. Bunny doesn't understand being a Dog means being able to poop outside, something we Humans would have difficulty doing because of our long legs, while she can squat at any point. If she wanted to use the toilet, she can very well be taught to, it's not like we can't because it's happened multiple times before. And Bunny isn't on Antidepressants, these guys make up a lot of stuff and then add the tense music over it to try and make it all serious for views.
Nooooo. Poor Bunny. Dogs are supposed to be goofy and oblivious to help us through. They dont deserve to understand our world. They deserve straight joy
Just think about it. If we die and reincarnated as animals... Just think about it rhe flys is people who was shit people in the live and know eat shit. And who was good humen would decide what he wanna to reincarnation. Holy shit.
It depends on the breed. It depends on the mother and the dad. They probably got a little too curious about their own breed and themselves and gave birth
For those who beleive this, its fake the dog just happened to be on different medication at the time, and bunny just had some questions of why she wasnt something else, its all ok, and bunny is fine
I can confirm this to actually be true. Bunny's owner Gloria is friends with my aunt susan and bunny is a one of a kind dog. She has not had any trama in her life like im seeing in the comments, she is just a very intelligent dog and yes sometimes it freaks gloria and the family out, but bunny is smart and thats just it shes family. Have a nice day god bless❤
I used to work at an animal hospital, it's been common for dogs to take anxiety/depression meds, for anxiety. Dogs lack self awareness, that's why humans love them so much. They prioritize their human/"owner"/"master". And that's why dogs are "man's best friend". They hardly even recognize their own reflection, they aren't interested or curious in their mirror reflections like elephants, monkeys, and even cats can be. I prefer cats myself because they are independent, both literally and figuratively. They can feed/hunt for themselves, they can use the bathroom outside, meow when they need to go out, and cats are "their own people", they do what they want and aren't puppets for people, that's the real reason men have historically hated cats so much and call them "feminine" lol. If that's feminine, that's a compliment! Don't get me wrong i love dogs too but only as much as i love other animals, cats are my favorite though. They're superior. This dog just learned to press buttons and the owner manipulated the intent of the dog for views.
Fun fact: There is also another story about bunny where bunny presses the buttons “Stranger in the home” and the owners see like a shadow coming in a dark room or something.
@@Droppinloads don’t call them a terrible person, I think they are talking about the reality that not all dogs are treated with love and affection, and if they were to realize what other dogs are going through then that would make it worse. That’s what I got from this comment
@@nashies230 Oh…you mean like humans? That sounds like your describing a human reality. We have no idea what or how this dog is processing learning how to communicate with buttons. Odds are the dog is only learning that certain words produce certain responses from its owner. That being said idk how we could claim to know. I’ve watched the videos of this dog on tictok and idk. I surely don’t think medications is the way to go.
There was one where he started to ask about death. He asked "when bunny end?" or something and it was really sad. Those were the only two clips I saw that were amazing.
That’s what I worry for my pets all the time is that they know what life is like and are sad that it can’t be better and they can’t do the things we get to
This is why I think the movie "Arrival" is one of the most eye opening movies of all time. It explores how language or how we communicate almost dictates our mental compacities. In this movie, a linguist is tasked with communicating with some aliens and in this process she learned there language. They in short wrote circularly and not linearly(i may not habe explained that correctly but this is a quick comment). In learning that language it changed how she experienced time. Just check out the movie and you'll understand the correlation of this video and that movie. Language expanded the dogs mind. Well that is if this video is real. Very interesting.
this started off as good fun and now it's quite sad and scary. and unfortunately its too far gone now so i hope as the dog ages the owners are prepared to answer some tough questions.
Example of Fobidden Knowledge on a smaller scale, for dogs just being aware of what and who they are make them deppressed. Well thats for Bunny, poor Bunny i wish he get well soon😢🙏🏻🙏🏻
Bunny is legit like me when I was finally aware of my consciousness at the age of 5 Edit: TYSM FOR 636 LIKES!!!! Edit 2: guys this was supposed to be a joke comment but yall just made it depressing in the replies ;-;
i thought iwas the only one like i woke up at the age of 5 questioning my whole life bc it flashed before me then i asked my mom she took me to the doctors and i was on a depression medication
For those of you wondering, it’s really easy to set up a board like that so that no matter where the dog clicks, you get the sentence you’re looking for. And if u dont want to do that, training the dog for a specific sequence for a video to go viral is not the hardest thing in the world, especially if your dog and his board are the sole reason people watch you. Just my 2 cents.
Mmm. I dunno. Bunny and her buttons are backed by a university research center. That’s why they started with the webcams in the house before social media. The researchers study her. As well I have a dog named Hamlet (corgi) who’s very good with his talkie buttons. I def had to work with him to train them on what they mean and what it tells mom to do when he presses “outside” for example.
@@Jesusoverworldly ? what you just said proved their point too lol. the dogs press certain buttons for the certain reward/outcome, they don’t put together sentences on their own-they are just taught the buttons to communicate simple activities or needs. your dog has to learn the button for outside, it’s not a keyboard to them it’s more like an interaction menu if anything. Imo if they press extra buttons they probably want attention or treats, pretending they’re being trained so they want a reward.
There’s only 20buttons. That’s 20 words in a language with millions of words. The owner decides what the buttons will say, the dog just steps in them. You could make the buttons say 2+2 is 4 and eventually the dog will step on them while you record and make it look like he did math. Hope you understand the trick they are doing now
@@shinydmike8490are you trying to say animals arent intelligent enough to think for themselves? They do have a brain you know…but just communicate in a way we don’t understand. I can see where your speculation comes from but those “dog” and “why” buttons specifically are most likely there for another reason we as viewers arent aware of
@@biggiepancake1372 did you see me say animals aren’t intelligent? No. What I said is right there for you to read as many times as you need until you understand
@@biggiepancake1372 there was no implications when I clearly explained what I meant. Perhaps you assumed more than what I said because you have a hard time hearing others opinions
Well, most dogs are raised from a young age by their owners and since they are pack animals by instinct they automatically think of you as family but of course they have met and seen other dogs with their owners so they notice the differences between dogs and humans but are confused about what they are because they consider you their parents especially when you call then baby all the time. I'm pretty sure the majority of animal species know they are what they are but when they are raised from a young age by another species they are confused about their identity. Like the dog who helped raise 2 tigers in a zoo, those tigers include that dog as there mom and sometimes even act like dogs.
It is very common for big cats to have a dog as a companion. We went to a wildlife safari park and we went to the cheetah exhibit where we could get our picture taken with them and ask questions of the caregivers. The cheetah had a dog companion, when I asked: why have a dog as a companion? They said it was because the dog will not try to dominate the cheetah like other animals would which would cause problems.
“they had to give it medicine because it was becoming too aware!” honestly, i think that animals developing a consciousness is one if the most mind fucking things ever yet incredibly amazing. it just goes to show that animals arent just here for nothing, but that they are aware and they do understand; and just because we dont understand how they do, doesnt mean they dont
These guys make up a ton of BS. Don't listen to whatever they are saying about the Medicine, because that clip was taken from when Bunny was on some kind of Pain Meds. They are the epitome of "I heard this from Tik Tok" misinformation. A dog wouldn't be given medicine because it was becoming "too aware" it's literally making an observation. If a toddler asked you why Dad used the toilet and they still wore diapers, it wouldn't be a heart breaking moment. Dogs poop outside because it's more natural for their four legged stance. We have two legs, that are longer than our arms. We can't squat like they can and be comfortable, it's a simple explanation to her question.
@@szemingwong3851 But Pets are family. Only the ones you treat as family know that. Bunny is in a loving home that fostered her to become smart enough to actually start asking questions. She's making observations about the difference between herself and a human person, and asking about it because she doesn't know. She didn't ask questions before, as many studies state, most pets don't care about the physical differences between us and them, we just are weird Dogs or Cats they bond with. Bunny now understands there are Humans and Dogs, and wants to understand that further. It's not like there are any laws against Bunny going out and doing whatever she wants.
imagine unintentionally making your dog this aware. i always think about how my dog’s life is so depressing and he doesn’t even know it, he probably thinks he’s living the best life ever cause that’s all he knows 😢
Not to sound demeaning, but dogs are way dumber than us. To us, sitting around doing nothing is boring as fuck, to a dog, thats probably the time of their life.
I have a poodle mix and she's extremely anxious and reactive. Has nothing to do with her being trained or not which she is not. This video is also false. She gets medication for a stomach issue not anxiety. She also doesn't stare in the mirror for hours.
Well definitely not a depressing life a depressing life is all the shelter and stray dogs if they have a family that loves and takes care of them dont gotta carry about bills that is good
I think there was 1 part where bunny said - “when bunny end” I found that so sad and that’s why u don’t let dogs talk to you Btw bunny was asking about death Edit: ty for the likes of
I know a guy told me if you be mean to something you become it in your nexus life so bunny is a guy trapped in a dogs body trying to get answers to get out of
My cat is on human antidepressants, this is not that uncommon. It’s actually exponentially common among male orange cats and the main reason people tend to give up on them.
that’s the same thing that happens to humans when they realize the realities of this world. it can either make you or break you. either way I feel bad for bunny, he didn’t deserve this.
I have a hunch that these videos of this dog becoming so self aware and able to actually understand and communicate and learn the words. I wonder if they’re just training him to click certain buttons that they train them to to make it seem like dogs can communicate through buttons that speak words. They can’t even do this with some of the most intelligent animals in the animal kingdom. I have a pet potbelly pig and they couldn’t even do this and they are scary smart. Way smarter than any cat or dog could ever ever be. They’re as intelligent as a 3 year old toddler human. Pigs are the 5th most intelligent animals in the world! Can’t compare that with a dog. Regardless I love dogs the most. Best pet to have. True humans best friend and serve and protect in so many ways a pig could never do. 🎉 Dogs don’t have the intelligence for that.
@@noahpilarski infamous isn’t the opposite of famous, infamous means being well know for something negative. Jeffery Dahmer would be considered infamous because he made a powerful NEGATIVE impact on the world as a murderer but people like Martin Luther king or Amelia Earhart would be considered famous because they both made a powerful POSITIVE impact on the world as historical figures.
As a poodle owner I don’t think people truly understand why they have the title of being one of the most intelligent dog breeds don’t not ever underestimate a poodle I have yet to see a breed use critical thinking skills and be so human like them . They understand tooo well I’d never give my boy these buttons cause I can always see the gears turning in his head and the curious expressions he gives me as if he wants to ask me something so I know he’d have the same realization as bunny or worst and I think it’d break my heart if he found out what pets are and thinks he is just that to me
This video is highly misleading lol. The bottoms didn’t cause anything and they never had to give the dog antidepressants. The where for pain medication for a stomach issue the dog had. And the buttons were to communicate that.
@@keys5595 you’re telling me something I already know I didn’t even mention bunny till the end I was talking about how smart poodles are and why I wouldn’t give MY poodle those buttons because he like bunny could realize he’s a dog or worst a pet because he is highly intelligent like bunny .
