This is a producer Amanda's dog truffles.

As you can hear, she's whining about something.

Okay, well now she's barking about something.

But what really is she saying?

I just kind of wonder, like, will I ever really know?

Can we ever learn her language and just have a full on bark

conversation?

Will I ever know if she's like, oh my God, help, I'm trapped in a dog's body.

Or if Truffles is just screaming for the sake of screaming.

I know there have been a whole bunch of different times that humans have been able to teach animals

how to communicate with us. Like, there's that orangutan tilde that researchers taught how to mimic

sounds like this. And then there was Cocoa, theilla, who actually learned sign language.

She even talked to Robin Williams.

I recently had a mind-altering experience communicating with a Gorilla.

Her name is Coco. Oh, and then there was Alex the parrot who did a step up from the both of them and could actually speak English. Like full on language here guys.

Alex, how many? That's right

He had a vocabulary of over 100 words and was the first and only non-human animal to have ever asked a question.

What this shows us is that he really understands what those questions mean.

But you know that's not really the same as us learning their languages, you know, they're learning ours.

Do they even have languages that we could speak to them in?

And if they do, would we be able to learn it?

Can we ever really know what animals are saying to each other?
