The science of linguistics believes humans to be the only species that uses language creatively. We express our needs with language (verbal and nonverbal), but we can also express our thoughts, desires, beliefs, etc. We can use language to be poetic, romantic, or serious- and most of us express ourselves simply because we can.
I hope that one day science proves that my dog can participate in deep, creative conversation with me. Until then, I suppose I'll have to be happy sharing this unique and amazing gift with other language lovers.
