Humans are supposed to be smarter. The dog can understand people, but people can’t understand dog. And each only speaks his own language. Who’s smarter?
The strip perfectly illustrates the arrogance and ignorance of those who study animals: they try to teach them English instead of trying to understand their language.

My dog has taught me her language. I find it difficult without a tail but make-do.

Looks like an Bergwursthund, he might be barking in German. Öffne die Tür, die Natur ruft mich!

Typical “Merican” expecting the dog to speak English, American actually instead of learning to speak canine.
