I was at a festival years ago and a couple was sat next to me with a dog that looked like a German Shepherd cross that was clearly on edge, looking around at the crowd walking by. Then a guy with a kid on his shoulders came near. All you could see at first was the guys shoulders and the kid's head above his. You couldn't see the kid's legs because the guy had his arms wrapped around them. The dog jumped up and started barking its head off at them. Until they got to the point where you could see them side on. As soon as the dog realised what was going on it immediately stopped barking and sat back down. I've often wondered what that dog thought was going on at first.

I don't believe any of the 3 dogs I've had were ever in an elevator. Never thought about that before.
But while vacationing on Maui for a few weeks, toward the end my 4-yo daughter asked, "When are we going back to the real world?"
Dogs understand elevators.
People have to stop acting like animals are the stupidest most thoughtless creatures.
Yeah, most dogs probably understand it perfectly fine because it isn't a great mystery. They go in a room, they feel the acceleration, they feel the deceleration, they go out.
Sure, first time they are probably confused, but they are not completely oblivious to the world around them.
Also, yeah, this post is funny
Tbf people act like people are the stupidest creatures too. Especially historically speaking.
"How in the world could these complete and utter dumbasses figure out how to build giant piles of dirt in a specific shape? It must be aliens cause there is simply no way those idiots could figure that out on their own."
Especially if these people had a skin color any shade darker than white
Idk if it's just a trope, but there are allegedly people so into the conspiracy wondering if they were built from the ground up or the tip down. 😅
I think the idea the pyramids were build from the top is a joke playing of the things said by conspiracy theorists.
Oh, I saw it in a 4 hour long debunking documentary in potato quality on YT, but I do remember seeing the image.
They actually started from a corner
But which corner? Maybe it was the top corner 🤣
There was a Fraggle Rock sketch about this with the Explorer guy
Speaking of which can you watch fraggle rock anywhere today? No? Ok fuck Disney 🏴☠️
You make me want to watch Fraggle Rock again. Apparently it's on Apple TV+ and they made new seasons. Or, you can find it the other way...
I know there are dogs that understand how to use the subway, which is basically a horizontal elevator.
Also birds!
- Animals understand the world in a lot more detail and depth than we give them credit for. We get caught up in a lot of big brain nonsense, some of which is useful sure, but a lot of the basics, they’re well on top of. They’re not stupid, they just don’t have language or hands.
- I feel like a lot of human stuff is just total incomprehensible magic to cats and dogs. Cats clearly think humans can change the weather, or it might be different weather at a different door. Because why wouldn’t it be? You guys control the light switches and the doors and cars and stuff. Why would the weather be different? There’s stuff in my domain and then all the world change stuff is your domain. It’s cool, we can still be buds.
Idk man, pick one.
Some animals are truly more equal than others. Years ago we had a really smart horse. (And those of you who have been around horses much do know what an oxymoron that is.)
So this cat moves in. She was one of those that just moved in, no chip and no other luck finding her home. And she was pregnant and made a little nest and had her kittens.
And the smart cookie of a mare that I began this with made sure that we knew where the kittens were.
Then there's the normal horse experience where there's been a rock close to road for years. Then on one random occasion the rock is an apex predator.
I didn't understand that last paragraph.
What did the horse do to let you know about the kittens?
On the last paragraph: it is quite common for a horse to be perfectly comfortable on a particular route. Be it from stable to field or on regular riding track. And after half a decade something that has always been there is just unbearably scary for them. A rock, a fence post, a post box, literally anything.
And on those kittens - horses are quite elaborate on their body language. That cat had made her nest behind the wall of said horses stall. Behind that stall was an area mostly relegated to tools - wheelbarrows and shovels and such. Said mare was also extremely interested in food, when something is more important than evening meal it raises eyebrows. First thing that comes in mind on situation like that is illness.
But that time she was clearly healthy and happy. Every time we'd get close by she was neighing and pointing with with her head. And sure enough, there was a nest behind the wall and sure enough the cat and those kittens needed a bit of help.
I've seen pretty a dump dog understand elevators well enough to run down the stairs to follow someone that had just gotten into an elevator.
They can probably hear much more clearly than we can that it’s a box moving around on rails in a giant echo tube.
Dogs do have a concept of gravity, they can feel the movement of the floor.
Friend, I don't understand elevators.
should be an insane clown posse lyric
Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?
Box goes up and down, takes you with.
do regular dogs go all like 'o shit its the cops' when they see a police dog, or is it just another dog to them?
Don't do anything illegal don't do anything illegal don't do anything illegal SQUIRREL!! Ah crap I did it again...
Violations of the Dog-Squirrel treaty of 2014 is no laughing matter
You messed with the squirrels, Morty!
That treaty is a sham and everyone knows it. The squirrels had no right to annex Caninea.
That treaty ended a hundred year war! So what if the Squirrels took Caninea, nobody thought they'd even come to the negotiating table after the Canines glassed Squirrelandia
