Sorry to piss in your party but how does learning and obedience relate to intelligence? Dogs want to please the owner, wouldn't it be "smarter" to say "do it yourself"? Just asking πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I get the joke but dogs have different levels of intelligence just like humans. Science still can't define what consciousness is but most people can tell that dogs share whatever it is with humans. Intelligence and shared consciousness is why dogs started helping humans some 20,000 years ago.

I've taken care of a horse which was... slightly clumsy. Not malicious but could walk over humans "just by accident" when was a foal and trained to handle. I wouldn't call her dumb but she didn't have all indians in the canoe. Science and we people can't explain many things, yet those exist.
