Pet translator devices could let us talk to dogs within 10 years, Amazon-backed report says

Research shows prairie dogs have different words to describe colours and species of predators

Pet translators could let us talk to dogs within 10 years, a report backed by Amazon has claimed.

A professor at Northern Arizona University is attempting to raise money to develop a cat and dog translation device, after he used AI software to analyse calls made by priarie dogs.

Con Slobodchikoff found that the animal had different words to describe colours and species of predators. He now believes the concept could be applied to household pets.

Funny thing is we ALL talk to dogs anyway....and sooner or later they know what a "walkies" is...or..."dinner"

 

and  "GET OFF the damned sofa"  :lol:  But might be fun to hear what they talk about....not that I expect they say a great deal

I had a Beagle once that I probably would have had to bleep out much of what she said to and about me :w00t:   Today, my Border Collie mix would probably be the same ;)

According to Mark Twain, the common BlueJay takes the prize for bad language and moods ;)

Hmm interesting I have owned parrots and magpies and they both sound like jerks always back talking you. Like my ex wife lol   Blue Jays  not sure if I have ever seen one.  However birds are pretty smart and I can tell if they are being naughty or nice.
