[nagdu] Your Dog Speaks German?

[Marion Gwizdala]

Dear All,
    A little more than a year ago we had this exchange about my interest in 
teaching my dog German commands. Well, I now have a "bilingual" dog! When 
people hear me give him his commands, I frequently am asked, "Does your dog 
speak German??" I generally reply, "If he did, I would be a rich man!" They 
usually laugh and admit that they meant to say, "understand", rather than 
"speak"! Nonetheless, my "German speaking dog" opens up a lot of 
conversations!

Fraternally yours,
Marion
