Personally, I'd be perfectly willing to give certain animals higher int scores than 2.Mechanically, the main difference between a 2 int and a 3 int is that the 3 int can actually understand language.  Might not be able to speak it back, but can still understand it (arguably, you should be able to talk to the Tarrasque if you use a Tongues spell, though it's far more likely to eat you than to respond).Such a person simply wouldn't understand or even care about anything remotely complicated.  Your dog, cat, or horse doesn't care about reading; the 3 Int guy wouldn't either.</blockquote>
