Zee_Beckett12 июля 2021 г.When Thor was young, the phone had been a bottomless source of mystery. Of all the strange things the Pack did, talking to the phone was the strangest. Sometimes the phone chirped, and they went for it like it was the last piece of meat in the world. Sometimes they picked it up unbidden, poked it a few times and waited. In any case they talked and listened to it as if it were another person.

Zee_Beckett11 июля 2021 г.Читать далееSince the beginning of the long partnership between dogs and humans, dogs’ ability to understand large numbers of words has fascinated humans, tantalizing them with the thought of a talking dog. But dogs will never talk or otherwise communicate with words, not because they don’t understand words, but because they don’t think in words. No matter how many times Thor heard the word, “yes,” no matter how well he understood its meaning, he would never think “yes” when asked if he was hungry, or if he wanted to go out. He might feel yes with every cell in his body, but his mind would never “speak” the word, the way human minds do.
