    They forgot to show the most amazing thing that Chaser did: the old doctor scattered all 1000+ dog toys around his house, and then told her to fetch a specific toy. The test was tricky because he used a new name he never taught her, and had put a new toy somewhere in the house. She went around the house, looking at the various toys, and eventually decided to pick up the new toy. She deduced that the unfamiliar word must be the name of the new toy. She's an incredible dog!

She could snag snowballs out of the air and sling them right back at the person throwing them. She would also get her leash and walk herself. Gosh, I could go on forever about her. I miss her.

    I have a (very) senior dog who is in some arthritic pain and possibly having ‘Sundowners’ syndrome in the evening. The vet’s got her on some meds which I cover in peanut butter, then roll in small kibbles to make a coated ‘cookie’. I want to make SURE she gets her meds down. She happily complies with this routine. Like ALL old people, she has good days and bad; and didn’t need the meds every single night. But as the weeks pass, I have noticed her putting on a big show of a needless ‘anxiety attack’ which is quickly over once she gets her P, B, + K cookie….. I do believe my dog is scamming me for the treat. 😧 because she settles down faster than the medication could possibly dissolve in her system and calm her down.

    About 12 years ago, our elderly akita had to have emergency bloat surgery. He had a 50/50 chance of surviving, but he made it through the surgery. The vet called us after the surgery, telling us that we could come back into the recovery room to see him. When we entered the room, Jake was deep asleep, since he was still coming out of anesthesia. His eyes were closed tight. But within a few moments, his eyes cracked open. And as soon as he saw us there with him, his heart rate went NUTS. You could hear the beeping on the monitor going crazy. I knew that Jake loved us before that moment, but as long as I live, I will never forget the sound of that beeping, his heart going crazy for us.

    My grandfather and father were dairy farmers. My granddad’s Border collie Shep I believe essentially knew conversational English. You could say to her “Hey, Shep, go down to the end of the pasture and make sure we got them all,” and she would go and do it. She probably saved his life once: He had gone into a small paddock where he kept a bull to fill the bull’s water trough. The bull knocked him to the ground and was beginning to strike at his chest with its hooves. Shep slipped under the fence, fastened her teeth onto the bull’s tail, and held on tight until the bull decided to go after her instead. She held on, according to my grandfather’s story, and he was able to roll away and escape while the bull chased his tail. At a strategic moment, Shep let go and darted away. She lived to be 17, or so they told me; I was a child when she died.

    I have a 13-year-old Staffordhire Bull Terrier. I am 82 and have had her since she was six weeks old. I've always treated her as a companion, not just a dog, and talk to her as if she is just a house mate. She understands literally hundreds of words, I never issue "commands", and talk to her as if she's a human being. I have no choice, come to think of it, often enough I don't have anyone else to talk to for days! I am still gobsmacked every day how she responds to "ordinary" conversation and seems to pick up meanings. You only have to look into a dog's eyes and see there's a BRAIN at work in their heads!

My Mom called him her Grandson & sent him toys in the mail addressed to her Grandson Fazzy! Mom passed away Jan.6,2016 & Fazzy woke up 2 days later & while walking to the litter box had a seizure and passed away after I tried EVERYTHING TO SAVE HIM!!💔 I was totally devastated because I couldn't have children and he was my son for 13 years. The happiest years of my life! I miss my parents & Fazzy soo much I pray every night that God will take me so I can hear my parents & Fazzy's voices, laugh & just be happy again!💔

    When I met my wife she had a American eskimo. She told me it was smart but untrainable. Within a month I had that dog doing amazing things. It was the smartest dog I had ever seen. My guess is that dog do three or 400 words. If my wife said after dinner take out the garbage and walk the dog, if I picked up the leash the dog would go sit by the garbage can to remind me to take out the garbage. That dog also taught me some things. It taught me different bark for different things he wanted. A short shot bark meant come here I need you.two short barks ment water. He did not have a good sense of smell but he could hear her car 3 minutes before she got home. He continued to learn new words right up to his old age.

Could fetch farm tools, could count up to ten in barks, watch tv for hours, liked to listen to the radio, see herself in the mirror, sing, laugh when you tickled her. Walk on two legs. Amazing dog.

    Anyone who has spent any real time with dogs, and paid attention to their feelings and emotions, should have no doubt in the level of understanding and intelligence that dogs possess. They understand so much of what's going on. Maybe even more than us sometimes, because they're more in tune with body language and energy that someone exhibits. Dogs are sometimes able to sense dangerous intentions from a stranger before we do. Or when you're sad or upset, they understand it. They know SO much about what's going on.

When her name was called she got up excitedly to collect her gift. She would take it back to her spot whist someone ‘helped’ her unwrap it. Each time her name was called she did the same thing. She knew she was included in the festivities of receiving gifts. She is one of our children.

It made me think about a dog that I still love. There was this German Shepherd I grew up with, his name was Ricko and he was the best friend that a child could have. He was patient, relaxed and up for fun and just a really good boy. He taught me it's okay to be curious, important to be kind and that there is nothing wrong with just being. He was like the most furry German Shepherd I had ever seen as a child, with very long orange-brown-black hair and very big open eyes. I really hope there is a dog heaven and that he is in it.

But the main gift they've brought is allowing me to matter in their lives. Nearly all were adopted from difficult circumstances. They had no reason to let me in - to respond kindly, but they did. Fwiw, I had an NDE at 19 in which I was greeted by my great-grandfather and an old family dog. I realize it proves nothing , but - because of that - I know we'll all see our animal friends in the next dimension. Take care, everyone.

She is the reason I have more friends in my neighborhood than ever before. She is the reason I have my own successful dog walking and sitting business. Everybody calls me the dog whisperer like Cesar Milan, but she is the real ⭐ star!!!

    Anyone that lives closely with a dog and invests time to really get to know them personally knows how intelligent they are. And, no, when you leave and are met at the door by a welcoming and excited dog, it’s not that they want you to feed them or scam you, it means they missed you and are glad you are home again because they really love you. Dogs can remember a person they love after years of separation. God bless them. They are wonderful companions and personal friends to people that treat them well, just like most humans.

    Our gsd is a flunkie from a seeing eye org -and it was their loss bc of 11 dogs we've had in our lives, she's a real thinker and always wanting to learn about the world. Sometimes she overthinks things or confuses the situation, but she is worth all of the daily work we put into helping her learn and enjoy life!! Her life could have ended up much differently with another family bc she requires patience and understanding to assist her in daily learning and trust. She's amazing❤ and is SO loved! She's leaps behind Chaser when it comes to words she understands, but to us, she's the smartest dog we've ever known!!🥰 Aiko the wonder pup!! The Pilot Dogs trainers really let an amazing dog slip through the cracks but their loss was our HUGE gain!!❤❤❤❤❤ (Knowing her, she probably outsmarted them so she didn't have to live life with a harness and instead could instead live on acres with horses and chickens and her buddy, our cat!!😂)

They didn't always listen well but when we were outside in public, they were always on leash.

When I did (the stupid mistake), of leaving her without leash, she started run towards the street. I ran to her, very afraid that she could ran towards the cars. When I finally screamed in fear she understood, she froze and wait for me. I swear it was one of the biggest fear I had on my life. I would be very heartbroken, to bring a dead dog to my friends because she would be hit by a car. Fortunately, she understood, she froze and waited for me sitting in place. Man, whenever I'll have a dog friend by myself alone, I will never ever leave the leash. That was a special lesson that I have learned.

She was intelligent, not because we taught her things but she communicated. One day I came home and she greets me at the door, wagging her tail but showing her teeth. It took me a moment to understand she was trying to smile at me. She had comprehended that people show their teeth at each other to show pleasure and was copying that behavior. A rescue dog that had been abused for 8 years in her life producing puppies. It was not taught behavior, it was intelligence. I have had 4 dogs since her (older rescues). All sweet, but I have never seen a dog as intelligent as she was. Einstein happens.

He left saying I'll figure it out. 2 days later he returns goes back to being with the dog and says "I have a friend coming with a deposit" apparently he got his therapist to bring the money so he could have the dog. After hearing that we lowered the price for the dog and he almost cried saying "thank you so much" I could tell he is not well health wise but he was such a sweet man. He told me that "if I die my family will take care of her" which after watching this reminded me of him. I hope Dale is doing well with his lil cutie. He even named her after me.

    I remember an old couple who lived in the next street from me. They had a border collie - known to be intelligent dogs - called Elvis (they had rescued him - the name wasn't their choice). He was the smartest dog I ever met. If you were in the garden and asked him to fetch something from inside the house (he couldn't see it, so pointing was of no help), he would always bring the correct thing. He could do this with dozens of items. So not only did he know what you wanted, he knew how to find it. He was very funny. If he wanted food, he would bring you his metal bowl from the kitchen and bang it on the wall. Great dog.

    My in-laws always say their lab is soooo smart. I never thought to much about it...until a few months ago! We went to visit my in-laws, and while we were there my husband was telling his father that he can never keep track of his pocketknives and was bummed for losing his last one. All of sudden, Bailey, the lab jumped up and started sniffing the couch and would not stop. Assuming Bailey had a toy stuck under it, my husband extended the recliner on the couch and crawled under to see what Bailey was fussing about. Sure enough, his knife was right there!! He pulled it out and Bailey just lay back down, like no big deal. It was amazing. I never would have believed it if I didn't see it myself. What's even crazier is that 6 months before, we lived with them while our new house was being built. That is when my husband probably dropped his pocketknife. So, she knew it the entire time was there and didn't react until Justin started complaining about it. Such a smart GURL!!

This was at 2:00 a.m. she was making noises and sitting with all 4s on his chest. She's an Australian Koolie and oh so smart. She's had no training for this. She is a Therapy Dog and did this again when a woman that was checking into her program. Thibodeaux was resting by me when she suddenly jumped up and ran toward the woman and that woman suddenly fell over as she had a seizure. 911 was called and the woman recovered. She's been written up in a magazine and honored by our town, Sandy, Utah and by the Utah Chapter of the American Red Cross at a banquet for 14 other Everyday Heroes...she was the only animal. I'm very proud of her and she's the sweetest and smartest dog ever...no training for this; it's just built in.

    I lost my girl Lucy in July. When they got to the part about eye contact, I lost it. Being able to look into her eyes and feeling like I was seen was one of the best feelings. I miss her all day, every day.

    I'm sorry. Such a horrible pain. I lost my female Corgi the same day Queen Elizabeth passed. I want to believe they are together since she loved Corgis. My Lily Bird was a sweet thing and trilled like she was singing. I miss her.

    My sisters dog is pretty smart too. I got up to get a drink and he followed me into the kitchen and stared at me while I was drinking, so I just said “are you thirsty?” and he literally nodded 🤯 so I said “okay where’s your bowl” and he walked to the other room and pawed it. So crazy.

    Seeing Eye dogs for the blind began in 1929. Those dogs do amazing things from leading blind people through traffic to keeping them from falling off a subway platform. Just watch a video of what they are capable of.

    The mention of eye contact between the person and their dog is very true. I've had dogs all my life and have had deep bonds with some of them. One of my rescue dogs, a female black Lab, was very nervous when I first got her. It didn't take long after I had adopted her, to realize that she had been abused by past owner(s). She was very skittish & submissive, wouldn't make eye contact, kept her tail mostly tucked and head lowered. She didn't seem to know what to do with a toy, and she didn't want to play with my other dog in the beginning. She basically acted as if she expected to be hit all the time. I didn't know anything about her history, but I assumed that had been her past experience. The one time I raised my voice in anger (not at her) in her presence, she ran to the corner of the room cowering and shaking, with her face to the wall- obviously expecting to be hit. It broke my heart to see that. It took many months of patiently waiting for her to be comfortable accepting a gentle touch without fear. I realized she finally trusted me when she began making eye contact with me and was relaxed. A couple of months after I had adopted her, my mom said "That dog adores you. She doesn't take her eyes off of you." I told Mom, "I may be the only person in her life who has ever treated her kindly." At that point, I knew she watched me & wanted to be near me. But she still would avert her eyes if I looked into her eyes. Months later, one day she looked into my eyes, relaxed and without fear. I knew then, that she was permanently bonded to me, and loved and trusted me.

    That sounds so much like the little Chihuahua that I recently adopted through a rescue foundation. She just made eye contact with me a few days ago and has begun wagging her tail. Toys are still foreign to her but I have found two pair of my socks tucked in the back of her kennel. Such a sweet girl I have found.

    @@juniebugg9819 Good luck with your girl. The first time Brook was naughty, (nothing terrible - she stole a sandwich off the table when I turned my back.) I was actually proud of her for misbehaving. Why? Because I knew she understood she would not be harshly punished. I laughed, took the sandwich from her, broke it into small pieces, and fed it to her. Normally, that would be a dumb move- to reward your dog for misbehaving. But I wanted her to know she was safe and wouldn't be hurt, even if she was tempted and broke one of my "rules". Some of my friends saw her when I first got her, then were amazed months later at the change in her. One friend asked, "What did you do? I can't believe that's the same dog, she's so different now." I replied "I just loved her." I believe dogs understand when we rescue them from terrible situations, and are very grateful and loyal to us. She was the sweetest, most gentle dog. There was no reason to treat her badly. (If you have a bad temper, or are easily angered- you shouldn't have a dog!) She watched my interactions with my other dog, and realized she was safe. She relaxed with me, and her sweet personality blossomed. This was years ago, she's gone now. I was glad she came into my life and I made sure she the rest of her life, with me, was happy. I have some sweet memories of her years with me and another rescued Lab, Riley. When Brook passed away, Riley cried along with me. They understand much more than we give them credit for.

    I have a jack russell that I’ve had since Sept of 2013 . He was 5 weeks old . I’ve always talked to him in full sentences and I don’t think he’s ever left my side . He’s always with me . If I’m going to the store I’ll say Eddie, do you wanna go to the store with me ? He will instantly jump up and be excited and when we get to the garage he waits for me to say which car or truck we are taking . So I’ll say Eddie , let’s got to the store , we’re taking the truck . He knows exactly what I’m saying . Same thing with everything else in life . He gets excited over Christmas presents and will unwrap new toys an treats on Christmas Day. If I say Eddie , you need a bath , he will go to the bathroom and sit on the rug until I start the bath water then he will jump in the tub. When he’s done I’ll lay a towel on the floor and he will roll around and dry hisself off . He sleeps in my bed , he has a small pillow that he knows is his. He gets under the covers by himself . I can go on and on about how smart he is . I’ve always treated and talked to him like a human . He’s my little buddy . And when I tell him I love him he will come give me a hug a kisses on the hand or wrist . I’ve never really give it much thought on how smart he really is . But I trust him way more than most people . Hes 9 yrs young now and he shows no signs of slowing down . He’s a really good frisbee or ball catcher . Just a wonderful companion

    Ive had two Jack Russells and now have a rescue with a lot of Jack Russell in him. They are quite brilliant. I have been dealing wit major depression since the age of 12. I lived in Vermont for 10 years and was often alone. One winter when a depressive episode was bad enough to be plagued with suicidal ideation, my Jack Russell, Mr. Smee, would bark incessantly outside of the door. I thought something was wrong. It took me a while to realize that he was asking me to come outside to play. I often think the reason I am still here today is thanks to Mr. Smee.
