Look at all these Skyping and Facetiming dogs. So, please interpret whether these dogs recognized their masters or not according to your astute observational abilities. Also, before you say "they recognized their voice", I agree. But, I should think if the dog recognized only the voice and not the video image, they would be running around searching elsewhere for the source of the voice (the speakers or behind the computer or something), rather than
looking at the screen as they do. In fact, I think the dogs seemed upset and confused that they could see a familiar person on the screen but not interact with the real person
These are links to the YouTube videos. You need to click on them to view them. I would like you to analyze each one

These are embedded so you can watch them right here
9. This dog follows commands given via Skype and looks at the screen
10. This one brings his master a sock to the screen
These are also embedded
11. When this person flips the phone screen to face herself and turns on the back camera to show the dog, so the dog can't see the screen but we can see the dog, the dog tries to turn the screen back to where she can see. Why would she do that?
12. This guy doesn't even talk, the dog is reacting only to the screen
13. This one paws at the screen
14. This one follows his master's commands
15. This one fetches a toy to bring to the iPad image of her Mama
So there are 15 videos of dogs Skyping and Facetiming and paying close attention to the screen and/or wagging their tails, jumping, barking and whining. There are tons more available, including dogs Skyping and Facetiming with other dogs.
