Most dog owners are convinced that their four-legged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words like sit, stay, or treat. However, researchers have always wondered whether canines really understand human speech or if they rely on other clues to deduce the meaning. For example, does the word “fetch” conjure up an image of a stick or ball in the dog’s mind, or does the pooch retrieve the object based on cues such as the owner’s tone or gesture? A new study by scientists at Atlanta’s Emory University seems to indicate that “man’s best friend” is not faking it – he/she does indeed know what the owner is saying.

              So technically dogs are smarter than us, because we can't understand everything they say. What if dogs are spies? Let's hope not... (Only a conspiracy theory because I'm weird)

                  My dog, Murphy, LOVES his treats. Whenever I bring one out, he automatically sits.😅 My dog knows how to sit, stay, and, lie down on command.
