The dog already knows 29 words, and this is how it happened.
Probably, every owner dreamed of talking to a pet as a person at least once. But Christine Hanger did it. And no, the girl did not learn to read the mind of her dog, but came up with something more interesting.
Her pet, one and a half year old Stella, a cross between a leopard catahula and an Australian shepherd dog, is actually talking to her owner. Whenever she wants to express her thoughts or feelings, she simply presses the corresponding button with the word on a homemade talking board.
Stella already knows 29 words and no problem informs her mistress when she is tired, wants to eat, walk in the park or play. And recently, a clever pet has learned to make phrases using a board.
One day Stella whined sadly at the front door. Christina thought that she wanted to go out, but the dog went to his board and explained: “I want”, “Jake”, “Came” (literally from English “Want”, “Jake”, “Come”). And as soon as Jake, Christine’s fiancé, returned home, Stella’s sadness vanished. Moreover, she went to her board, pressed the word “Happy” and lay down on her back, asking to scratch her tummy.
“When I accidentally pressed the Ball on the device, Stella took it very seriously. She took her ball, tossed it to me and pressed the “Good” button. She is very happy when we talk to her using the device, and especially when we press her favorite words, ”says Christina in her blog.
“Stella begins to respond appropriately to what we tell her. When in the morning she ate from her bowl, I simulated the phrase “Stella ate everything” on her device, to which the dog came up, pressed the “No” button and went on to finish her breakfast, ”Christina continues.
Moreover, as the hostess assures, Stella tries to convey her messages as accurately as possible, and if they remain unanswered, then the dog replaces some words so that it is accurately understood. For example, at first she asked to play with her with a simple phrase: “Come play”, when Stella’s offer remained unanswered, she slightly changed it and asked to play on the street, not forgetting to add that she loves her owners ( there is a special button on the board with this phrase). When this proposal was ignored, Stella made it clear that she wanted to go to the park.
One day a button on her board broke, and what do you think the dog did? After several unsuccessful attempts to press her, Stella asked for help by pressing another button.
The linguistic success of the dog and the originality of its owner do not cease to be discussed on the Internet, the following comments can be found on the Internet:
“Direct proof that dogs understand us.”
“How unusual it is! Reviewing the whole day! “
“If someone is going to make a similar board for cats, then do not forget to add dirty words.”
