There was some border collie that was trained to know 200 different objects by name and to be able to fetch any one of them. It was also able to learn new words by process of elimination. If it was presented with three objects, one of which was new, and given a new word, it would go for the new object. Obviously, most dogs don't get anywhere near this level. | |

He used to became angry when we didn't gave him what he wanted. | |
