T-Rex: Dogs make noises, just like WE make noises. It seems obvious to ask: CAN WE TALK TO DOGS??
God: YES
God: HECK
God: YOU CAN TALK TO A BRICK WALL IF YOU WANT TO
T-Rex: Okay, true. TRUE. I guess what I'm asking is: can we COMMUNICATE with dogs??
Dromiceiomimus: The answer is yes, as I can ask a dog to sit and that dog - assuming he's a good boy, yes he is, yes he is - will sit.
T-Rex: Right. OKAY. More precisely: can we have TWO-WAY communication with dogs??
Utahraptor: Ask a dog if it wants a treat, it will bark, and you'll understand that as a "yes"!
T-Rex: FINE.
T-Rex: Let me be ENTIRELY PRECISE: can we have grammatical, symbolic communication with dogs, in which base linguistic quanta can be combined into novel and meaningful semantics?
Utahraptor: Oh, no. No way. Absolutely not.
T-Rex: ...Right.
Narrator: MEANWHILE, IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE:
Off panel: T-Rex, of course you can! As you know, I'M just several dogs in a Utahraptor suit right now!
T-Rex: Hah hah hah! I feel SUCH DEEP SORROW for those forever trapped in lesser universes!!
