On one hand: it's a learned behavior and is not all that remarkable when we've been doing basically the same thing for hundreds of years with less sophisticated technology. The only thing new here is the soundboard itself.
On the other: isn't our language also learned behavior? Dog might not have deep insights into literature, and might not even understand adjectives, but they certainly can know nouns and verbs and understand them enough to follow basic instructions.
