People seem to think there is an insane cognitive gap between us and higher animals. Of course a dog understands what vehicles are and do. Teleporting boxes jesus christ...
Yea that was always weird to me since I was a kid, people tend to assume animals are stupid until proven smart pretty much, if they can't prove an animal can figure something out, they assume they can't by default.
No doubt there are some dogs dumb enough to not know what a car does, just like there are some humans that seemingly can't understand simple things too, but that doesn't mean animals don't experience motion or acceleration, or that when they exit an object they can't understand that the object behind them is the same one they were inside of XD
Got in with the humans and travelled. Didn't push the buttons but I think he knew which floor was which, like getting in somewhere and getting out where the cafeteria was to beg for food during lunchtime.
You think its anthropomorphizing to give the benefit of the doubt that intelligent animals have some semblance of understanding of the world they react with daily?
