That's not what that means. They've asked her who that is before, and she couldn't answer, but any time she's asked _them_ who that is, they tell her it's Bunny. This means there is no reason to necessarily think that Bunny recognizes herself, so much as she recognizes Bunny as the right answer to that question, even though it's also the word they use to get her attention.

@jimmehjiimmeehh9748 3 года назад

As future mentions, it's not really possible to say what dogs understand or do not from their behaviour, especially when it is prompted. They're not able to explain their reasoning after all. Anything you or anyone else says about the behaviour of animals is at best a loose guess and at worst just pure projection.

@futurestoryteller 3 года назад

@@jimmehjiimmeehh9748 Yeah, but this stuff gets very philosophical like "How do I know you're not pretending to have feelings?" type stuff. The mirror test is a classic self-awareness experiment. It has its skeptics and detractors across the spectrum, but there are probably ways along those lines to test if Bunny understands what she's been told. Like seeing if she'd recognize a change in her appearance through the mirror, and whether or not she'd try to change it back.

@@Milamberinx But that's what I meant. Other animals, especially non-mammals have forms of intelligence we can not even grasp. I think we shouldn't dismiss animals as less valuable, just because they are different. Many of them are probably even more valuable in terms of contribution to eco systems. I just liked that the comment stated 'animals'. A common viewpoint is that pets are more valuable, are more deserving of protection than other species. The arguments often fit exactly the narrative in how people exploit animals. Eg "chicken aren't as intelligent as my pets, thus I can have them bred, mutilated and killed for me without questioning my exploitative consumerism". A statement like "dogs are intelligent" doesn't challenge the world view of most people. Therefore I think it is important to point out intelligence and overall worth of all animals any chance we get.

It's so important that any kind of enrichment be animal led.

@deannad9105 2 года назад

Her Mom said in a video that if and when Bunny doesn't enjoy the buttons, they will stop. She wants the buttons to enrich their relationship and Bunny's life, so if she doesn't like to do it, then they'll stop. That alone probably makes Bunny feel less pressure than some of the other animals.

"Human" and "Dog" are actually another level of complexity, because they're abstractions. They don't just name things that one can see or touch, they're categories.

@biggic2004 3 года назад

Yeah, and what is also remarkable that "settle" is used in 2 different ways: - "settle sound" = stop the sound (time - related) - "settle couch" = rest on the couch... (place/action - related). While of course "stop" and "rest" are quite similar to us "talkers", it must be quite a semantic leap in a dog's brain... 🤔

I agree. I have seen other posts where people don't agree with the idea of trying to make dogs fit into our world by making them learn our language instead of letting them be who and what they are. I respect that opinion however as a dog owner myself, it is so obvious that our dogs desperately want to communicate with us as we would with them. This tool makes this a reality.

@DarthZ01 3 года назад

I still find it interesting that even as she explores the differences between human and dog, Bunny still calls mom a friend. The same word she uses for the other dogs. Makes me wonder if she actually thinks of their relationship differently and just lacks a word or understanding to conceptualize stronger attachment. Im also very very interested in the possibility of her giving meaning to barks another dog may say. Like if the neighbor dog barks and mom asks what dog say could Bunny respond with something like stranger. And what roads could this travel in the future.

Of all those "animals talking with buttons" videos, this is probably the most impressive. And the speed in which she finds the correct buttons - she literally _walks_ over them at this point in the correct order. I have no doubt that she understands their meaning, by the way she responds (e.g. looking at the cat when asked where the cat is). There must be something in this mirror theory, that once a creature reflects itself in a mirror and recognizes that it's her, her levels of consciousness and mental skills start to increase faster.

Maybe "dog cat want hi" could mean, she wants to talk to the cat and be friends with her, too? 🤔 I don't know if there is any footage of them "communicating"?

@johannageisel5390 3 года назад

There are several videos of young Bunny trying to play with the cats, but the cats are unwilling and possibly scared by the excited pup. After a while Bunny seems to realize that play with cat is not going to happen. There is one video when she expresses via buttons that she wants to play with one cat but when the cat doesn't react, Bunny presses "later". Then there is the phase of "cat bye" and being afraid of the cats (particularly Uni, the orange one). In one video Uni sits next to Bunny's toy and Bunny asks mom for help getting the toy. In another, Uni sits on the couch and Bunny is frustrated because she wants onto the couch, but the cat is already there. So, it seems that there is no good communication between Bunny and the cats.

@h. bunny I don't know whether they are on youtube, since Alexis only puts compilations and some extras on youtube. All the single clips are on their instagram. instagram.com/whataboutbunny/ I can go through it and see whether I find the clips I was talking about.

It clearly seems she’s self aware, although all dogs may not be, I’ve heard. Clearly way above average with everything!! Really good natured too. I never thought one day in my life I’d see dogs communicating by talking buttons about “strangers” instead of barking! I wish all dogs could do that so the neighbors would have a bit more peace! We and everyone were always “strangers” to the upstairs dog even after a year! Bunny would’ve figured out in 2 days we weren’t “strangers”. I wish I had Bunny for my neighbor! 😊

I think dogs think they'll grow up to be people, like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. 'Mom was dog?' seems like she's asking 'will I be like you when I grow up?'

This dog is so adorable. They deserve a show. I love that the cat is always not trying to play. The dog presses 'cat" and rhe cat is like, "fuck off. Im not trying to hang out w yall. She *bought* me from a pet store, as I'm cattle; im here by defaulted positionality."

@redfeatheredreptile 3 года назад

Very consistent with the answer of this is dog/bunny... curious to see more cross-testing, for example if Dad is in front of the mirror, he can model ‘is dad’ and look at himself and point to the mirror, you model it, model it for cat. This would bring more evidence if you ask ‘who’ when its not her reflection, and she answers correctly, that she isnt just repeating ‘that’s bunny’ back to you (though i do think she understands it is her, where at first she did not or asked ‘who this’. Possibly due to her becoming old enough to get the concept? Really interesting! I think its adorable how she reports sounds she hears to you. Trying to be a guard dog :D

@jean-david8043 3 года назад

WHAT THE F***?! I'm following you since 3 or 4 mouth and I knew bunny was intelligent but : did a dog just see himself in the mirror?! I think it was impossible. 2 solutions : 1)it can be possible and amazing! 2) we already see her mom told bunny that was herself (bunny) in this mirror, when bunny is looking in the mirror she don't understand what she see so she repeat what she learn = this object is a type of bunny? 🤔 Sorry for the quality of my english : i'm french

@johannageisel5390 3 года назад

She knows that "Bunny" is a word that describes her as an individual. She can differentiate Bunny from her friends Selena, Tango and Beacher and also from Mom and Dad. She also once identified her reflection as "dog", so I believe she did not recognize herself, but at least understood what she was seeing. She also correctly identified her mom in the mirror a couple of months ago. My hypothesis is, that although Bunny did not figure out by herself that she was seeing herself, she may now begin to understand it after having been told repeatedly that it is her. We'll have to monitor her interactions with the mirror further to find out whether she will be able to "use" the mirror. For example to inspect parts of her body she could not otherwise see. I'm not conviced she fully understands yet what a mirror does and what opportunities it provides, but may eventually figure it out.

@AK-jt7kh Год назад

Possibly! I think, though, based on Bunny’s typical speech patterns, that “Hi we” and “Friend Come” and the dog & cat statements were each separate. I think she usually tries to finish a statement before asking for a response, unless she’s answering questions about a larger issue like she did when there was a “stranger” in her paw.
