Gotta bounce!

This video has been doing the rounds for a while, it's supposed to be an instance of cross-species learning. Sometimes the dog is supposed to be teaching the baby how to bounce, sometimes the baby is supposed to be inspiring the dog. 



Both explanations are an equally massive overreach. There's a simpler way to describe the scene, and it goes a little something like this:

Baby: Boing boing boing *gurgle*
Dog: THINGS. MOVING THINGS ON FLOOR. GET MOVING THINGS. EAT THEM.
Baby: Wobble wobble. Ooh, colorsandshapes. Might shit myself in a bit. Splurk.

Parent: I am witnessing a truly meaningful and emotionally touching moment. Thank the stars I was ready with my camera!

It must be wonderful to be so misinformed....
