What is "prairie dogging"?
Prairie dogs (Cynomys) are burrowing rodents (not actually dogs) native to the grasslands of North America. There are five different species of prairie dogs: black-tailed, white-tailed, Gunnison, Utah, and Mexican prairie dogs. They are a type of ground squirrel. On average, these stout-bodied rodents will grow to be between 30–40 centimetres (12–16 in) long, including the short tail and weigh between 0.5–1.5 kilograms (1–3 lb). They are found in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In Mexico, prairie dogs are primarily found in the northern states which are the southern end of the great plains: northeastern Sonora, north and northeastern Chihuahua, northern Coahuila, northern Nuevo León, and northern Tamaulipas; in the U.S., they range primarily west of the Mississippi River, though they have also been introduced in a few eastern locales. They will eat all sorts of vegetables and fruits.

I don't understand just what it is that you are asking but I'll try to answer it anyhow.
Prairie dogs have good eyesight and also have language (humans aren't the only ones.)
I couldn't find the book that I read the article in, but it was something like this (minus the religious stuff.) http://www.johnpratt.com/items/docs/lds/meridian/2005/prairie_dog.html
Just type Prairie Dog language into a search engine and you should find plenty of links.
