It is unquestionable truth that dogs are smart…..there are centuries of evidence to prove this….so, wouldn’t it be safe to say that as evaluated by HUMANS…..dogs fall somewhere in the upper middle pack of intelligence in animals….so wouldn’t it be safe to project that most animals….for that matter most creatuires….large and small have the intelligence to survive….or they wouldn’t be here, right!?!…..and although many different creatures were not designed to do HUMAN tricks….but we animals do, especially dogs…..and speaking of HUMAN tricks….have you seen these elephants show their level of intelligence in their intricate moves?
