Dogs' intelligence, and perceived intelligence, vary a great deal among individuals. In general, dogs are a lot smarter than we usually give them credit for. I'm sure that all of my dogs have understood the basics of how an elevator works. I've also had three who could probably have repaired an elevator and one who could have invented them.
And then there is my latest girl, who would regularly sit on her tail and be very confused about why her tail suddenly hurts
One of mine farted then looked around in alarm wondering where the noise came from.
My MIL's dog sometimes farts, then growls at her own ass.
My dog is quite nonchalant about farting. IIRC we are accustomed to our smells, I guess it applies to dogs as well, maybe they react differently to the nervous stimuli in the anus or to the sudden noise.
Shh did you hear something just now?
