Can Bunny the Talking Dog Really Talk?

• https://www.vice.com, Shayla Love

It's probably the most famous existential crisis since Jean Paul Sartre's novel Nausea: In November, a sheepadoodle named Bunny looked into a mirror and said, "Who this" by pushing buttons on a soundboard designed for her to communicate with her owner, Alexis Devine. Moments after seemingly questioning her existence, Bunny pushed the button, "Help."

As reckonings with one's existence go, it was more succinct than Sartre's "I am, I exist, I think, therefore I am; I am because I think, why do I think? I don't want to think any more, I am because I think that I don't want to be, I think that I… because… ugh!"

With over 5.6 million followers on TikTok and 555,000 followers on Instagram, memes quickly proliferated about Bunny's existential plight.
