What if dogs could talk?

[Catherine]

In a way I understand my reptiles even though they neither understand words nor speak them.

Dogs are different. This technology could open up a whole new level of dog human interaction. This would allow a dog to be understood by a stranger.  That is very different from the communication between bonded humans and dogs.

I can see how much it would help service dogs. I wonder how much more they can do to help dogs talk to us. Can you imagine really knowing what a dog is thinking?
