Hold up. When you say talk, do you mean the dog occasionally kinda sounds like it is saying words, or do you mean I could hold an enlivened debate with it?
They're only 3 years old, so that would be diffifcult. no, i can't hold a debate with them, but they know and can say simple phrases like "I love you", "Momma", "I want one" (usually when begging), and we also had a cat who would say "outside" when he wanted out, as he couldn't open the door himself, no thumbs, and "inside" when he was out wanting in. most words in english are difficult for non-humans due to lack of human vocal cords, but they can manage a few, and seem to understand the meaning to some extent, similar to parrots.
