      Dogs don’t have a language the same way humans do. Yes, the can get a lot across with barks and sounds, but they can’t put across complex ideas or details. They use body language a lot, and smells, in ways that people don’t or can’t.

      One of the main reasons why humans are the dominant species in the world is that we have evolved and developed language.
