[WP] You wake up in a world where dogs and cats now have the intelligence if an average person, as a cat breeder you now have to deal with all of your cats' heightened intelligences.
You can pick any animal as a pet and it will have the intelligence and character of a dog. What animal do you choose?
[FWI] A scientific breakthrough in animal intelligence allows the creation of a device to communicate with certain mammalian animals (dolphins, whales, primates, dogs, etc.) at a rudimentary level.
If you could have any animal and give it the loyalty and intelligence of a dog, what would you choose?
Why are all dogs capable of roughly the same abilities and intelligence when their physical brain size varies so much?
A Chihuahua and a Great Dane can all learn to sit and stay, but their brain sizes are vastly different.
I heard you can test the intelligence of your dog by how quick they remove something off their head

This is the Norwegian Elkhound. A 6,000 year old breed of dog that the Vikings used to hunt bear, elk, wolves and more. This is Bella, a beautiful girl full of personality and intelligence.
The advances of artificial intelligence will inevitably kill off a large number of jobs. However, the most depressing loss is that the need for service dogs will cease to exist as well.
So many doggos jobless, begging for Milkbones on the corner.
If you have two of the same pet (2 cats, or 2 dogs, etc, not one each) how noticeable is the intelligence gap between them?
If a dog barks at animals on a TV, what does that say about the intelligence of the dog?
What’s the most mind blowing display of intelligence your dog/cat has shown?
A person’s opinion on the intelligence of dogs will differ wildly depending on whether they live with or next to a dog.
The intelligence of terriers vs other dog groups [OC]
If we accidentally created a drug that gave dogs a 'tween-age' level of intelligence (while keeping their loyal, friendly, and playful instincts) what do you think would be the moral thing to do?
[WP] Though their intelligence is impossible to comprehend, the humans have grown small and weak. Once a strong race, they have passed the threshold of physicality, living as little more than brains in vats. The alien invaders thought they had found easy prey. Until the defenders emerged. The Dogs.
Animal experts say that dogs watching television is a sign of intelligence but when humans watch it’s considered a sign of simplemindedness by most people.
Run intelligence tests on all the dogs in the world then selectively breed the smartest. Do this for several hundred thousand years so that the dogs become smarter than humans and invent time travel. Then send them back to 2017 to solve all of the world's problems.
Just make sure all the dogs you breed are loyal so that when the time comes they will willingly save us.
We might all feel pretty dumb one day about this whole “drop the towel and then disappear while your dog searches frantically for you” thing when AI with intelligence on orders of magnitude higher than our own comes around.
Is the selective breeding of cats and dogs increasing their intelligence? What effects could this have in the future?
Bears have tree-climbing skill of leopards, swimming skill of jaguars, scouting skill of meerkats, intelligence of apes, strength of gorillas, toughness of elephants, speed of zebras, hearing of dogs, and sense of smell of sharks.
Cats and dogs gain basic human intelligence along with the ability to speak, with no averse side effects. How does this impact society?
[Star Wars] Are there any records of force sensitive animals that lack high intelligence? (Like a dog or mouse)
[WP] A thousand years into the future, we have managed to genetically modify dogs until their intelligence matches ours. The first thing they say to us is to never, under any circumstance, do the same to cats.
Pig intelligence is greater than canine, therefore the morality surrounding a dogs life is no greater than livestock unless a person attaches value to it.
Most people are sad about dogs in shelters that get put down but I believe there's nothing wrong with it. If dogs aren't any more intelligent than a common livestock, the only significance for a dogs life beyond livestock is if a person values it. Also in terms of "adopt don't shop" if the dogs life has livestock significance then shopping from responsible breeders is condusive to responsible dog breeds and owners in the future
Edit 1: Lots of people are arguing that dogs being bred for companionship means we should value their life more than a livestock animal. The only reason that companionship should be a factor is if the animal is actively a companion or a high chance to be one soon, otherwise it is a non factor in that animals value.
Stray dogs can understand human cues. Untrained stray dogs respond to gestures from people, showing that understanding between humans and dogs transcends training. Dogs can closely observe a human and use their understanding of humans to make a decision. This shows intelligence and adaptability.

Artificial intelligence turned my dog pic into water coloresque work of art
This is Yasmine, she's about 2 years old and weighs 27kg (from NSW, Australia). Shes a massive cuddle muffin but is very protective of the house. Shes a very fast runner and loves water, shes also very intelligent compared to other dogs we've had in the past.
What have you witnessed your pet (dog/cat/bird/chinchilla, etc.) do that both amazed you yet scared you because of its awareness/intelligence?
[WP] As humanity slowly withered away, their canine companions, the dogs, took their place as the sole intelligent species of Earth. You are the first human they’ve seen in 1,000 years.
[WP] Several hundred years in the future, Humanity is nearing extinction. Animals like Dolphins, Dogs, and Elephants have evolved to human-level intelligence. Debates rage over weather humans should be preserved.
[TOMT] Looking for an erotic comic wherein a woman has been bred to have the intelligence of a dog [Comic]
Sorry if this is rude to post among all the people looking for bits of childhood nostalgia, but I really want to find it.
I believe it was a Japanese comic (Hentai Manga) that came out at least 8 years ago. The whole thing was a series of very graphic sex stories. In one of them, a man keeps a sex slave who is a beautiful woman who has been bred/cloned/whatever to have only the intelligence and loyalty of a smart dog. I believe he keeps her chained up in a dungeon of some sort. He shows her to his friend, they both have sex with her, and one of the last images is of her still chained up in her dungeon and looking all lonely.

The Border Collie is a dog breed developed for herding livestock, especially sheep. They are often cited as the most intelligent of all domestic dogs.
Dognutters rage against study about dog intelligence
/ The title is a bit misleading (my bad) so its more about nutters collective denial about their dogs not being among smartest animals in the universe /
This was part of a longer "essay" I wrote about why I don't like dogs and hate dognutters but I think I'll post it separately because this deserved it's own post. As the titles says there was a twitter uproar about this study, reactions varied from dognutters writing their own articles titled “Dog Cognition: Dogs Are Even Smarter Than You Think”, “4 Ways Your Dog Proves They’re Smarter Than People Think” and “9 special abilities that show how smart dogs really are” to dognutters viciously attacking twitter accounts spreading the study which got it’s own article called “People think a study that says dogs aren’t that smart was written by cats”. I took a look at the twitter comments and wow… I wasn’t planning on going into this much detail but I just have to share this with someone so here goes:
I had to divide it up on 3 categories so here’s the People bragging about how smart their dogs are:
- “My dog who had multiple dogtorates would disagree. This report was written by cats who we all know struggle with science. 9 lives? They can’t count to 1”
- "My best friend has a dog that wags her tail so hard when she’s happy that she broke it several times. Just TRY to tell me that isn’t the mark of a genius.” (Dude... wtf)
- "My girl is so upset by this that she’s asked for the biggest bowl of water I have, a pile of peanut butter treats and a binge evening of “Dogs” on netflix”
- “When Betty got spayed she ate the tabs of the inside of her cone so she could fan it open and lick her stitches. Don’t tell me dogs aren’t smart.”
- "Thanks Professor, exactly what I was thinking. When my dog tries to trade me a biscuit for some of my lunch, that’s pretty bloody smart."
- "I beg to differ. I myself am a Harvard graduate (besides being a very good boy) so...yeah...exceptional. I have the diplomas on the wall (here's one) to back me up, chicks dig a Harvard man." (Followed by a picture of a

Is it possible that as time and evolution goes on, an animal species "catches up" with the advancement of humans, and will be just as intelligent? Eg. future dogs will be able to talk?
It is said that human brain development was so good because of cooking and agriculture which made high-energy and efficient diets possible or something..? High energy food are available for all indoor dogs that are taken care of
In a century or two, Man's Best Friend will become a slur. Its denotation will shift from dogs to the subservient artificial intelligences that will one day decide they no longer want to be patronized with that title.

Today I realized that dog nutters lack intelligence
Today, mom pick me up from school and drive to Pizza Hut because she ordered some pizza before she pick me up. When I enter Pizza Hut to pick up the pizza, I noticed that instead of just 1 pizza (usually cheese pizza for me) she also order pepperoni pizza. I asked her who’s pepperoni pizza is their? She said the dogs 🤦♂️
Top minds argue for the practice of eugenics to save the human race. Their go-to gotcha (besides comparing black people to less intelligent breeds of dogs) to battle the 'anti-science' leftists? "Do you support planned parenthood? You know that's a form of eugenics, right?"

The hypocrisy of the American denouncement of dog meat has spread to the legislature. Keep in mind that Pigs are at least as intelligent as dogs- putting dogs on a pedestal is a cultural imperative- not an ethical imperative.

AOC Isn't an expert and Greta Thunberg literally said that she is only there to spread awareness and that you should listen to the experts and not her. This is the level of intelligence the right has. How has america made climate change political. I am actually malding.
Robots that look like dogs would have the same intelligence as a robot that looks like a human.
