Dogs can walk, doesn’t mean that they’re capable of “general thinking”


Are’t they? They’re very bad at it due to awful memory, minimal ability to parse things, and generally limited cognition. But they are capable of coming up with bespoke solutions to problems that they haven’t encountered before, such as “how do I get this large stick through this small door”. Or I guess more relevant to this discussion, “how can I get around with this weird object the humans put on my body to replace the leg I lost.”
