Cute...but...there's gotta be a signal - there's just gotta be!

I'm sure there is, but it's sure subtle!

Why did that one "judge" keep calling the dog Magpie?
At any rate, an amazing and cute dog even if there were cues. I'd be hard
pressed to answer maths questions :) It was my worst subject.

At the beginning of the tricks the owner calls her Magpie too.

Just had a chance to watch the video. I'd like to see them do it with
her Mommy facing away from her. Although I did see an article somewhere
recently that said that dogs did have a concept of the number of items
in a pile. They knew which pile was larger and when items had been
removed, I believe. Of course I have my own evidence-- when we went
from giving Boone 3 cups of food to 2 cups. He wouldn't eat until we
gave him his third serving. We had to start using a smaller measuring
cup so he got his 3 "cups." He would eat if we put in 4 scoops of food
but not 2.
