Evolution and gene Feral dog adopt to understand human gestures inate, during the long cohabitated history with man-kinds. The scientists tested free-ranging dogs In experiment, compared with their closed relatives semi-captive wolves(dogs diverged from wolves millions of years ago) feral canines performed pretty better on following the pointing to find food. The data surpassed the random rate. It is convencing that the stray dogs have the innate talent to understand the cue from people. And I believe It's reasonable to suppose that the revelation process coded some ability in our genes to help the whole species to adapt the world better.
