According to the movie “A Boy and His Dog” part of the adaptation is telepathy with a human and the ability to locate human females.
Don Johnson and Melanie whatever...
Nope. In both the short story by Harlan Ellison, and the film adaptation, telepathic dogs had been specifically bred (or genetically engineered) to be used in police work - hence their near-equal (or superior?) intelligence and telepathy.
They were not portrayed as having evolved naturally, or due to radioactive mutation, to possess those traits.
