There is a saying from Wittgenstein stating ‘If a lion could speak, we could not understand him’ – I know you are not asking about lions, but I wonder if the same might apply to dogs? You might be able to understand the words but what a dog thinks about might be so completely different to us that we still might not understand what they are saying?
On the other hand if my dog could speak I hope he would say that he likes me and that even though he hates being in the car, the short trip to get him for a walk on the beach is worth it.
