I probably would have agreed at some point but raising a deaf dog changed my opinion. Now I believe they are better at it.

hah, well, don't mistake interactivity for intelligence, or friendliness
😂 No mistake.
humans are descended from tree climbers... dogs don't climb trees. bears do, cats do, lemurs do... numerous types of marsupials do, rodents, but no, not dogs.
😂 No, they dont. Not all bears do. I don't think that's a prerequisite. Creatures that climb wanted to eat us just as badly as ones that don't.
i disagree... the opposable thumbs are directly about being able to grasp onto things
dogs are far less curious and rebellious than cats, rebelliousness and curiosity go hand in hand, and they come in tow with the ability to make use of this information, ie memory
dogs are servile, that is a marker of lower intelligence... mid shall we say
at best you can say a nonservile canine would be animals like coyotes and foxes and other solitary canines
