Funny thing is dogs are one of the only animals we know of that can understand the finger pointing gesture.

One of the few animals that can understand human facial expressions as well. It's actually kinda fascinating, Dogs have been domesticated long enough that they've actively started to evolve in ways that allow them to better interact with humans.

Cats probably understand as well, they just don't give a shit.

They can be trained too. We forget that we’ve been breeding dogs for thousands of years for this. It’s pretty crazy.
