Neo asks for help

Neo knows to call for help, which really amazed me! Using tools was already considered part of intelligence. Neo is using people.

Dan told me that Neo went looking for him multiple times in the afternoon. He was surprised, because Neo usually never bugs him. He thought Neo wanted to pee, and took him to the yard several times. Finally, he looked at Neo's bed and found he threw out on his bed. Neo was trying to ask Dan to fix it for him! After I heard this story, I asked, "did you change his bed?" Dan paused, looking puzzled, and said "no"!

One day I heard Neo crying near an ottoman. I thought he was hurt, and ran to take a look. Nothing seemed wrong. I left, and he stayed, and cried again. The second time I looked, I found that his tennis ball was under the ottoman. I took it out, and he stopped crying, and continued to play with the ball. Later, whenever he cried near some furniture, I'd know he's asking me to pick up his toy for him. Once, his Frisbee was slided under a shut door. He cried outside the room. We thought he'd like to get in the room, and kept on saying "No Neo. You cannot get in." He was so persistent, and I finally opened the door and found his toy.
