“Dumb” animals can learn *our* language well enough to associate a specific action/object/command/concept with them, yet we have not a single clue what *they* are saying.

yet we have not a single clue what *they* are saying. Really? I knew a dozen or so sounds that each of my dogs would make, and what each meant. The problem was more that they would use the same "word" for a score of different things.
