Dogs Are Much Smarter Than They Let On
I think dogs—and perhaps other common house pets, like cats—are aliens or some other sort of intelligent creature and they pretend to be dumb and carefree just to get close to us and spy on us.
Often, they just sit or lie down somewhere, watching people. It’s very creepy when you consider it, but most people don’t pay any attention and so they can get away with it. Also, many times I’ve come into a room to find my dog actively engaged in behaviors that suggest intelligence, only to have him immediately stop upon seeing me and look sheepish. He also acts embarrassed when he has to go to the bathroom with people around—something an intelligent creature might do, but one would not expect from a wild animal.

Dude you watch too many movies. I'm with you on alot of UT's but dog's and cat's being aliens and are here to spy on us? Now from what major motion picture have heard that one? Try 'Dogs and Cats'. Literally the name of the movie.
Actually, humans themselves are wild animals that live in houses so alot of the intelligent behavior that you see in other animals really is because of intelligence, not in the way you suggested but dogs especially are like people in many ways. They are social, they like to play with friends, they can think and work things out especially border collies, those things are smart, and they will feel guilty if they do something naughty.
Hwhat naughty thing would thet be, Co-hater? =)
