The other day I was thinking about all the words and phrases which George now seems to understand to some extent.
So I decided to write a list. I'm sure there are others I've not thought of but the current count is 58.
I thought this was very impressive. George must be a linguistic genius! But according to Google, the average dog can understand around 200 words or phrases so we still have some way to go!
He's not yet 2 years old so has time to learn another 140 or so 😊
George's words so far below. Some are more useful than others and unsurprisingly, many are food-related 😊
