Dogs are Gullible, Not Genius

Many people think dogs have sharp minds, but that’s a misconception. While dogs are highly perceptive and can learn tricks, they mostly mimic behaviour rather than understand complex ideas. Scientists suggest that a dog’s cognitive abilities are similar to a 2-year-old human child. They can recognise simple words, gestures, and emotions, and have basic problem-solving skills, but abstract reasoning or planning is beyond them.

What makes dogs remarkable is not intelligence in the human sense, but their emotional intelligence. They can sense human feelings, follow social cues, and form strong bonds, which often makes them seem “smarter” than they really are. In reality, dogs are adaptable, loyal, and emotionally tuned companions, but their minds are simple and child-like.

Rough comparison of some common animals’ cognitive abilities relative to human age:

AnimalApprox. Human Mental AgeNotes on Cognition
Dog2 yearsCan mimic speech, solve puzzles, recognise shapes and colors
Cat2–3 yearsCan learn words, gestures, mimic behaviour, basic problem-solving
Chimpanzee4–7 yearsIndependent problem-solving, memory, and emotional recognition
Elephant5–7 yearsExcellent memory, problem-solving, social intelligence, empathy
Dolphin3–7 yearsCan use tools, understand basic language symbols, and social reasoning
Parrot2–5 yearsSocial intelligence, memory, and emotional recognition
Crow/Raven3–5 yearsTool use, problem-solving, planning, understanding cause-effect
Horse2–3 yearsShort-term problem-solving, escape strategies, and learning through trial and error
Pig3–5 yearsProblem-solving, social learning, memory, tool use in some cases
Octopus1–2 yearsShort-term problem-solving, escape strategies, learning through trial and error

Key points:

  • Most domesticated animals like dogs and cats have mental ages of toddlers, which explains why they mimic more than truly reason.
  • Primates, dolphins, elephants, and corvids show higher cognitive abilities, closer to early childhood or even beyond in some problem-solving tasks.
  • Some animals like octopuses or parrots, show intelligence in very specific domains, even if their overall cognition is lower.
