Who Knew? Google Speaks 'Dog'?

We knew Google could do almost anything -- but understand and translate 'dog'? Apparently, yes -- at least if this Google Voice Transcription is any indication. Here, the only audible sound is a dog barking in the background -- presumably before the humans begin talking. Does Google wait for the human language-voicing to start? Of course not. It transcribes what it hears -- the dog's communication. Is it accurate? (It's Google for Chrissakes!) Rarf! Hello...hello?

My mom left a msg for me the other day with two "hellos" followed by a few dog barks (by the dog, lol), and GV transcribed it exactly the same way!
