    one of the 5 animals believed to have the capacity for sentience

    I’m taking a guess and saying Dogs, dolphins, an great apes… No idea that the last one could be.

    Am I on the right track?

      What, why dogs? They are dumber than cats, just good at understanding humans.

      You forgot corvids.

        First of all parrots are smarter than the lot, orcas, some dogs like border collies too, it’s a lot bigger than you are giving it credit for.

      I’d put Octopuses way higher on the list than a dog.
      Dogs aren’t more intelligent than cats or cows.
      My list would be great apes, octopuses, dolphins, corvids, elephants

        Border collies have made the list of the smartest animals before. There are different types of intelligence too, national geographic had dolphins, orcas, ravens/crows, parrots, border collies/dogs, chimpanzees. I feel like I’m forgetting one too.
