My dog, A German Shepherd, knows every, single thing. She keeps track of every detail, no matter how small.
She understands just about every word spoken to her, and she speaks back.
She is smarter than me by a lot, I am ashamed to admit.
I had a Lab like that, pretty sure his thought processes were in english.
Ours, too.
Actually, she’s quite bossy when she wants to be. She doesn’t ‘bark’...she ‘talks’.
Very verbose, that girl. I relish every moment with her the last couple years she has left.
