There are a number of dogs suddenly in the news who posses a vocabulary greater and richer than mine. However, even though they point to a bone when they heard the word "bone" uttered, they do not initiate language, nor do they fall into language - like saying "Bone? Why are you looking for the bone again?".
Language requires initiating communication as well as receiving and interpreting communication.

Not "wow".
Rather one should say "bow wow!"
