Have you ever talked to your pet and then you wonder whether it can really understand what you are saying to it? A lot of people do talk to their pets, and most of them do not think that animals are capable of communicating with humans. They often think about most animals’ incapability of speech, they then assume that there is no possible way that an animal could communicate with a human. Animals can, in fact, communicate with humans; they just do not use the same methods of communicating that most humans use every day: speech. Animals can communicate with humans using several different methods of communication, including sign language, that do not require speech. Many animals have been trained to use several of these methods in order to communicate with humans.
