I USED TO THINK THAT DOGS THOUGHT IN ENGLISH, BUT, OF COURSE, IT COULD BE GERMAN OR SPANISH, IF YOU TELL THEM TO SIT, THEY MAY NOT RESPOND, JUST RUN AWAY TO THE BACK OF BEYOND; I'M LOOKING UP 'SIT,' IN RUSSIAN, 'GET OFF THAT ****** CHAIR,' IN CROATIAN AND 'COME HERE, THERE'S A GOOD BOY' AND 'WELL DONE,' PERHAPS WE JUST NEED AN 'ESPERANTO' SO THAT THEY WILL ALL DO AS THEY'RE TOLD, OTHERWISE WE WON'T LET THEM COME IN FROM THE COLD, 'STAY,' IN SWEDISH COULD MAKE THEM PEEVISH, 'FRIEND,' IN SWAHILI COULD MAKE THEM AN ENEMY, WE DON'T WANT THEM TO BARK, MOPE AND PINE, DON'T FORGET THE MAGIC COMMAND - 'NEIN, NEIN, NEIN!'

THE GERMAN SHEPHERD
I USED TO THINK THAT DOGS THOUGHT IN ENGLISH, BUT, OF COURSE, IT COULD BE GERMAN OR SPANISH, IF YOU TELL THEM TO SIT, THEY MAY NOT RESPOND, JUST RUN AWAY TO THE BACK OF BEYOND; I'M LOOKING UP 'SIT,' IN RUSSIAN, 'GET OFF THAT ****** CHAIR,' IN CROATIAN AND 'COME HERE, THERE'S A GOOD BOY' AND 'WELL DONE,' PERHAPS WE JUST NEED AN 'ESPERANTO' SO THAT THEY WILL ALL DO AS THEY'RE TOLD, OTHERWISE WE WON'T LET THEM COME IN FROM THE COLD, 'STAY,' IN SWEDISH COULD MAKE THEM PEEVISH, 'FRIEND,' IN SWAHILI COULD MAKE THEM AN ENEMY, WE DON'T WANT THEM TO BARK, MOPE AND PINE, DON'T FORGET THE MAGIC COMMAND - 'NEIN, NEIN, NEIN!'
SOMEONE TOOK THEIR DOG TO SOME GERMAN SPEAKING FRIENDS SO THAT IT WOULD HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF COMMANDS. AMAZING! 'NEIN,' = NO.
