Have you ever been inside a magical box that transported you from one place to another? How did you feel? Were you scared? Were you intrigued and curious about what had happened? As humans we are thinking organisms that have the capacity to seek out these types of answers using empirical evidence, logic of deduction/reasoning, and complex thought processes.
If you look close (and frequently) enough - you'll notice that dogs can be just as inquisitive. Unfortunately, they may never get the possibility to figure out how some things work or why things happen the way that they do. Take my dog for example: he has been riding in elevators for nearly three years. But still to this very day he can't predict what is going to be on the other side of the door when it opens. Nearly every unexpected sight or sound will surprise him and make him jump.
The mysterious carriage that transports him from one place to another. I don't think he wants to figure out how it works...he just wishes for a familiar sight when the doors re-open (which would hopefully lead to the tree that he pees on or the front door to our apartment).
