1. Google “Clever Hans Effect”. This is not the first time people have fooled themselves into thinking animals can do math.

2. Dogs are EXTREMELY attuned to body language. It’s they way they communicate with each other. In a way a dog can read a persons face even better than we can read each others. If her trainer even barely slightly signaled with her face, even subconsciously, the dog would pick that out. It’s pretty impressive but the real test would be with Just Maggie in the room.

3. this dog is so dead rn

4. i assume this is some sort of signal the owner is giving the dog

5. My five year old cousin knows division and I thought that was normal 😂

6. All answers resulted in values less than 10

7. 3:12 y'all ever seen the movie IT?

8. These kids literally copying the dog lol

9. poor dog

10. Maggie tapped 3 times. The final tap was resting her paw.

11. Maggie failed the simple math problem because she thought the hard questions were way too easy and that signals she wants harder questions lol

12. my dog did my homework

13. what da dog doin doe

15. 75 dives in 25. 15 dives five. That's three because 5 *3 za 15 Maggie. Not 1.classmate.

16. I saw her tapping 3. The last tap she was just putting her foot gently back down.

18. Dogs can’t do division

19. Fake

20. A dog whistle was used that naturally no one could hear.
    But the dog did exactly what it was taught to do in response of that hidden whistle. What a shame!!!

21. How do you teach that dog math?

22. this is insane

23. Maggie's teacher sure as hell doesn't belong to a union.

24. This is cool and all, but this is a very bad way to carry out an experiment; the owner was present and could've affected results, the students could've just listened to the dog's tapping which would also affect the results, and for God's sake they counted the last one incorrect when it indeed was correct. Pfft, so many errors.

25. Maggi belongs to which place

26. Too cute regardless ❤….the kids as well ❤❤

27. 9 to learn division???

28. Sorry, but it seems to be nonsense. This is called the "Clever Hans Effect" and was already observed in 1907.
