This is actually fascinating! The pup is actively making choices with the pictures! Watch them make the trees. They arent copying their person. They CHOSE to do that. And each tree is different, the pup intentionally chose to use different movements to make them.
They arent just plopping paint on the canvas, they ARE painting. The idea that a dog has not just the intelligence to do this but the intent to make a choice about it is amazing.
Dogs are capable of not only learning something so removed from instinct but also capable of making decisions about how and why they do that thing.
