The extraordinary thing is that Mr. Smith thought it was extraordinary.
Animals very much communicate, with each other and with their environment,
every bit as much as we do. They can tell time, they give each other
instructions. Humans have no clue that there's a great big world out
there.

I don't have dogs, so I can't really speak to this, but I do have two
cats
that were foisted on me by a well-meaning friend and I can tell you for a
fact that cats understand everything you say to them. If you don't believe
me, just look at a cat's face when you talk to it. There's no doubt
that
they understand every word. Unfortunately they also ignore everything you
say, perhaps because they understand so well.
