Only if the dog has a normal name like Jimmy or Roger.  Rover and Spot would be flagged.

Rover and Spot would qualify if they could pass that API test.

My dog has a normal name, and I would venture to say her intelligence level is higher than many people's level, and definitely higher than the humanoid level . Not sure if she could pass that api test though? Does she qualify?🐕😉

Based on dascpa's response, yes.  Unless of course, you have a boy named Heidi.

Seriously... no one has asked yet if it is a 'gaurd' dog??? Or if it's over 24 (in dog years...).

I thought about it, but I did the last time (not that I could find it when I searched)

I thought about it too, but then I kinda figured we have abused that poor old gaurd dog so badly that I would just let him sleep in peace.

Susan... are you the one that said "in dog years"?   I admit to plagiarizing that 🤣
