Our pets are incredibly intelligent. They know exactly what they need to do to acquire the best treats, and they’re masters at drawing attention to themselves. And some four-legged geniuses succeed in getting what they desire by devising genuinely amazing schemes. A nice example of their logic is a dog’s idea to imprison the cat in the bathroom so it wouldn’t bother him.<\/p>\n

Defused has long recognized that if our dogs could talk, we’d converse to them about a variety of complex topics. And here are 22 examples to back up my claim.<\/p>\n
