William Brangham:
The idea behind these buttons is that you record onto the button a word or a phrase that you use all the time with your dog. For my dog Macy, that could be: “Go for a walk” or “Want a treat.”
And then, every time I do that action in the course of a day, I press the button. And with enough repetition, the hope is that someday Macy would push that button to communicate back with me.
Hunger spent weeks demonstrating her buttons for Stella with no results. She was about to call it quits when Stella seemed to get it.
