MANS TRUE BEST FRIEND...
Man’s best friend has learned quite a bit from him! Reseachers have found that most dogs understand around 250 words and gestures, can count up to 5, and perform simple mathematical calculations. Using tests designed to demonstrate the development of language, pre-language, and basic arithmetic in human children, these researchers found that the average dog is much more than a poop machine/stick retriever.
Using the data, they compiled a list of the most intelligent and least intelligent breeds using information from obedience classes. Bordor collies and retrievers were rated among the most intelligent while hounds and terriers were the least bright. According to Professor Stanley Coren, “the average dog is about as bright linguistically as a human two-year old.”
