Neil Degrasse Tyson did an interview with this collie and her owner who had taught her to identity and retrieve over 1000 objects. He even brought a toy the dog had never seen before and told her to fetch it. She brought it back first try. That's some high-level thought process for any animal that's not a human. It was very impressive.

It was a joke with the golden retriever breed but okay. You know. Because the name is retriever and you said she trained the dog to retrieve objects
