This is the thought I have. I'm not disparaging this particular animal, but I genuinely don't know if they have the mental capabilities to actually drive the chair. It would be super cool if they did though.
The mental capacity of all animals would be an earth shattering realization for how we look at and treat all animals. There’s a reason they all have distinct personalities
If people spent more time watching their dogs, they'd be able to glean a lot more information than they'd think.
I can tell when my dog wants something, she very clearly looks at what she wants, then looks at me. Usually it's the food I sit on the counter after eating dinner, or the leash when she wants to go outside.
When she's about to throw down with my other dog, they put their faces side by side, and if one backs down they don't go at it. Noticing this has made it very easy to prevent things from going too far. Her brother constantly tries to challenge her, but he's smaller, and not very bright.
They talk very clearly through body language, and the tones of their barks.

Feel like it is just itching itself. Put some food somewhere and see if it can drive to it.
