Imitation is often said to be the sincerest form of flattery. You, children, learn a lot about life and language by imitating what you do and say.
That is why you have to really be careful when you have a toddler around – they will pick up bad habits very quickly! Many professions require that you imitate your instructor to learn a new skill, doctors, bakers, and scientists learn by watching and imitating. Dogs and cats learn by imitation too.
A mother lion will train her cubs how to hunt, a mother cat grooms her kittens to teach them how to do it for themselves. These skills are necessary to learn because they help the animal survive or stay clean. The mini dachshund in this video seems to be imitating the dog on the screen. The dog is watching the movie The Secret Life of Pets, and is imitating Buddy, the movie’s dachshund! How adorable!
