Science fiction and / or fantasy have addressed on several occasions the possibility of direct communication between dogs and humans. That possibility, which seems unlikely, is increasingly closer to fruition.
Melody Jackson, Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Georgia (USA), has spent 20 years researching that option and that "dogs can literally change our lives and save lives. Only lack the means to communicate. "
FIDO Project: With that goal in mind, Jackson embarked on a project he named FIDO (Facilitating Interactions for Dogs with Occupations), an experiment which, as its name implies, seeks to "facilitate interaction for dogs with occupations".
