It because an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.
75 When the two dogs woke up, Idiot had grasped all the abilities Cenius possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But Cenius gave no response to its master, and did not recognize him at all.
