Wow!
Walkies? Outside? Sit! Ever wonder just how many words your pup actually knows? 🤔
According to their pet parents, a study of 165 adult dogs found that they know an average of 89 words, with a range spanning from as few as 15 to as many as 215. One especially impressive pup, Chaser, a border collie, learned the names of 1,022 objects after just three years of training! What a good pup! 🐾
So, how many words do you think your pup knows? 😁
